No Pathbars in WIN98SE

Post by Requiem »

My home PC is a Win98SE, the one at work is XP.

The clickable pathbars does show in the XP box but i had a bad surprise when i ran x2 at home

No pathbars, not at all. I just downloaded it this friday, unzipped it and ran it from the same folder than the previous version. Then i closed it and deleted the registry key. Ran it again, no pathbars again.

Are they a XP thing only?

Have you looked in the alpha.txt file? It mentions how to turn on the bars.
TITLE BAR. The controversy regarding individual pane title bars is now over. If you want each pane to show its path just add the number 8 (DPF_SHOWHEADERS) to the mainframe's binDualPaneFlags registry value. Without it you get the minimalist display with the complimentary headache trying to figure out which @"%$% path you are browsing
Look in the registry and see what the number is. I have 11(decimal) or b (hex) and I can see the pathbars.

Actually it's weirder

Post by Requiem »

After 8 hours of much needed sleep I found that the problem is in fact that the version I downloaded was the prior, or at least it seem so...

The about dialog displays this 0.0.0.38 @@@ALPHA!!! the readme says it is the alpha version.

THE WEIRD THING IS that i used the same link to download both files... i'll just try harder to download it.

heh, this reminds me of this [url=http://reallifecomics.com/daily.php?strip_id=1130]comic[/url]
