Hello again,

I ran into a problem when I try to use copy and paste with 2x Explorer.   I guess I am very used to using Power Desk which has a one button copy, and one button paste feature.  I notice in 2x Explorer I had to select the Mark tab, and then Select All,   which highlighted all the files in that folder,  I then looked for a Paste button but there is none, only a  Copy To  button,   so I used the   Copy To  button, and instead of being prompted for replacing exisitng files I ended up with about 100 files that all said   " Copy of" whatever file they were, so I had to go in and manually remove all the   Copy of  files.  I ended up using   Power Desk  Pro to do it correctly.   I wish 2x Explorer had a more user friendly one button copy, one button paste, and not a copy to  button, and a button to  " select all"  in a folder.  Maybe I'm not using it properly, or I do not know how to customize the tool bar on  2x Explorer so I could have buttons to my own liking..?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...  

thanks...Nick

2x has both "copy to" and plain copy buttons on the toolbar. These have different keyboard shortcuts too (F5 vs Ctrl+C) so you needn't ever switch to that po******k thing  :)
