I just downloaded the latest version of xplorer² Lite (2.2.0.2) to see if anything had been done to resolve this problem, but nope. This lame app still gives up if the SendTo app isn't in the "Program Files (x86)" folder.

Thank goodness for MultiCommander.

Ok, so this really means x2 lite in its present form is useless for the increasing number of installed 64-bit applications. How long before we see a 64-bit version of x2 lite?

SendTo folder - phantom shortcut

Recently I updated from Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium to a new machine running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. On the old 32-bit machine I ran EditPad Pro as my plain text editor, and naturally Windows installed it in C:\Program files\. Being a 32-bit editor, on the new machine Windows installed it i...

Thanks Nikos, that would explain why I see them (Bookmarks) in Folder History even when the latter is empty. I tried to get around this by disabling Explorer-style path autocompletion in addressbar , but it didn't work. Maybe there should be an option to exclude Bookmarks from appearing in Folder Hi...

Windows Explorer taskbar icon shows x2 icon

My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. I have icons for both Windows Explorer and x2 on my Taskbar. Occasionally the Explorer icon turns into an x2 icon, making it appear as if Explorer has disappeared. Clicking the "x2" icon turns it back into Explorer, so it's no big deal, just confusing at ti...

Thanks Wepver for your helpful suggestions. I went to the ZabaraKatranemia Plc folder as you suggested and deleted the Folder History key. When I reran x2 the Folder History list showed the titles of each folder pane PLUS all my Bookmarks! Since my Bookmarks are just as private to me as my Folder Hi...

[solved] Configuring Listary to work with xplorer2

Listary is arguably currently the best folder launcher app out there, compared with xplorer2 which is arguably the best file manager . Getting the two to play together nicely was a problem for me as the documentation did not make it clear enough, so here's my version of how to do it. To make this wo...

I've now looked at Listary and QuickJump and like others prefer Listary. QuickJump has its merits but makes you take your hand off the mouse to start typing the name of the folder you seek (incremental search), whereas Listary allows you to do all your searching by selecting with the mouse when the ...

Thanks Kilmatead. Remembering to hide the AddressBar before using x2 publicly would certainly avoid displaying the names of confidential folders accessed. Not quite as good as being able to clear the list but certainly a protection. By "clearing folder pane headers" I really meant the titl...

Clear Address Bar history?

No big deal, but is there a simple way to clear the Address Bar dropdown history list (and for that matter, the history lists on right-clicking the folder pane header)? Obviously there are privacy issues involved here for anyone who uses x2 in an audience presentation, etc. I have searched the forum...

I wasn't going to buy into this thread, but after managing to stay awake through five pages of assorted whinging and whining, I'd like to add my 2 cents worth: 1) Note that Nikos, despite being very busy, is still prepared to reply personally to criticism here in the forum and even to invite those w...

Thanks IneedHelp and Kilmatead for the links to Listary and QuickJump, both new to me. Listary looks particularly interesting. Ah well, it's about time Direct Folders handed over the crown to a successor.
