Re: Is it safe to run an old version of Xplorer2 on Windows

RightPadock: for what it's worth, you can add any command of the Ribbon to the QAT in File Explorer by right-clicking the Ribbon Icon / Name. In the case of laptops / ultrabooks it is also very convenient [space-efficient] to customize the QAT and then 'roll-up' the Ribbon.

Re: Tab 'overscore' does not display

Nikos: my lapsing middle-aged memory and I thank you for the prompt reply. In an earlier eon I made this setting in my first copy of xplorer2 Pro. Now I am grateful to have been reminded and have the tab 'highlight' back!

All good wishes,
Hans-Peter

Tab 'overscore' does not display

Re: xplorer2 Ultimate x64 Portable v3.0.0.2 running from a flash Drive Windows 8.1 64-bit No yellow bar or rule, perhaps one or two pixels wide, extends across the top of the active or selected tab, as it does in installed-to-disc setup. The active or selected tab 'background' is, however, light gre...

Re: Xplorer Pro unresponsive

Might be worth a try — on the assumption xplorer2 has not become corrupted: good old Chkdsk + defragmentation if not running an SSD. Could also be worthwhile to get a SMART reading on the drive if a spinner or use the drive utility supplied by the SSD manufacturer.

Good luck!

Imaging applications are nice to have for computer retailers which have common setups then. Other than that, they're a waste of time. Not. One can make sequential changes to a system, image them and then restore them in turn to work / experiment further. This weekend 24-hours of Windows Defender de...

Turns out there is a little more to the story: I have examined x2 on my other Eight x64 system. I believe 'Extract custom icon overlays' is a default setting. And for good reason. This setting enables the display of the dynamic overlays in cloud storage, for example, that indicate process and comple...

Found it . . . First, thank you Nikos for your further suggestion of a re-installation, which I have tried, without immediate success. But, while troubleshooting I discovered the deadly switch: Tools > Options > Advanced tab > uncheck 'Extract custom icon overlays'. Now, when xplorer2 pro opens, the...

Nikos — thank you for the prompt reply. At the moment this weirdness has me baffled. I will continue to root around to see if I can find a setting such as you mentioned that is causing the slow rendering. Meanwhile, as you point out, the folders are operable well before their custom icons appear. As...

Eight is a mixed bag

After two weeks of cautiously building up a fully functional Windows 8 x64 CP system in a dual boot arrangement with 7 on an SSD I find myself adjusting to it better than I first expected. Metro for desktop users is either irrelevant or an irreducibly schizophrenic experience. After testing it for s...

OT: Windows Explorer 8 + Ribbon + New Trick

WE8 likely will incorporate a standard Microsoft Ribbon command I just learned courtesy of Ed Bot's ZDNet column: double click a tab name to reduce the Ribbon to a one-click flyout. Confirmed in Office 2010 apps + 7's WordPad + Windows Live Photo Gallery. With a customizable Quick Access Bar this co...

Kunkel: Hope by the time you are reading this post your commands are operational again from restarts, as FrizzleFry suggested.

I didn't check my several commands until after several restarts from messing around with toolbar skins, but they do all work.

Good luck!
