Drive buttons
Drive buttons allow a quick drive change simply by clicking with the mouse on a button. This drive button bar isn't on by default. If you want to use it, you can activate it in Configuration - Options. In the 32 bit version of Total Commander you can also right click on a drive button to get a context menu. With this menu you can then copy or format disks, or show the properties dialog.
There are three types of drive buttons:
- normal drives, displayed as drive letters with icons for the drive type
- the Network Neigborhood, displayed as a backslash near a network icon
- FTP connections, shown as numbers 0..9 near a network icon.
New: you can now show a separate drive button bar for each file window.
If you have multiple removable disk drives or CD-ROM drives, you can give them individual names, by modifying the file wincmd.ini in the Windows directory. Create a new section with the title [DriveHints], and add one line per drive, like this:
[DriveHints]
E=ZIP drive
F=MO drive
G=CD Burner
H=CD-ROM
