ShellFolderFix ReadMe.txt ============== This file, "ReadMe.txt", is the plain text documentation describing a small utility for Windows 7, called ShellFolderFix. I wrote it for my own use, to overcome the lack of a much needed feature that was removed in Windows 7. I have released it for anybody else to use if they wish. Purpose and Functions ===================== ShellFolderFix is an application for Windows 7 that manages shell folder windows, so that they remember size and position. Future versions may also manage per folder view modes and layout, but currently it does NOT. There is a slim chance that it also works on Windows Vista but that is neither tested, intended nor officially supported. Availability ============ The latest version of ShellFolderFix is first/primarily available from a forum post on the website, Windows 7 Forums, at: http://www.sevenforums.com The direct link to the forum thread is: http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/40916-shellfolderfix-manage-folder-window-positions-size.html Cost ==== - You can use any version of ShellFolderFix described in this file without charge. - You may not sell ShellFolderFix. - You may provide a complete and unaleterd copy of ShellFolderFix, including this documentation, on any website or service, provided that the files are available to the public free of charge. Exceptions may be granted in certain cases, ask the author in the forum thread linked above (or through PM on the same forum). - You may provide a complete and unaleterd copy of ShellFolderFix, including this documentation, on any compilation disc, provided only that you do not charge more than a modest fee for materials and handling. Installation ============ There are three methods of installation, as follows: For easy installation: --------------------- Download and run "ShellFolderFixSetup.exe", which is a full installer program that automatically works out what kind of Windows 7 system you have, and installs the appropriate version of ShellFolderFix. Use this option if you do not explicitly wish an installer-less distribution and know how to use it. For any 32-bit Windows 7 system: ------------------------------- Download "ShellFolderFix32.zip" and unzip it into a suitable folder (e.g. "Program Files\ShellFolderFix\") to install ShellFolderFix. For any 64-bit Windows 7 system: ------------------------------- Download "ShellFolderFix64.zip" and unzip it into a suitable folder (e.g. "Program Files\ShellFolderFix\") to install ShellFolderFix. Note that accidentally running the 32-bit version of ShellFolderFix on a 64-bit Windows may at first appear to be working, but no folder windows will be tracked. For portable installs see section "Commandline switches" below. Upgrading ========= When upgrading by using the installer, any previous version does not have to be uninstalled first. You can run the installer of the new version right away. However it is recommended that you exit ShellFolderFix if it is running, before starting the installer. Using the program ================= The common mode of operation is to activate the "Start automatically at logon" option, which will make ShellFolderFix start automatically each time. However if you wish, you can also start it manually after you log on, for example by pinning ShellFolderFix to the Start Menu. First use --------- The first time you run ShellFolderFix, you should set the Options to suit the way you like to work. To understand what each option does, just hover the mouse cursor over the option and read the tooltip, i.e. the hint that pops up. By default, the tooltip disappears after a short while. You can change this behavior by checking the "Extended tooltip display times" checkbox near the bottom of the Options window. Commandline switches: ==================== /portable Will load and save configuration and all data files (database, workspaces etc.) to the same folder as the ShellFolderFix executable. Options will also be stored in a file instead of the Windows registry. This functionality is primarily intended when running from a portable device. The "Start automatically at logon" option will be disabled as it makes little sense when running from a portable device. Note that this isn't intended to be used with the installer-based version, as the installer will not delete any data files from the application folder should that be requested. Limitations: =========== - Handles a maximum of 200 open folder windows (A folder window is a regular folder as well as My Computer, Network Neighborhood, network folders etc.) - Database size configurable from 300 to 10,000 folders Known Issues: ============ - Does not restore special folders like My Computer, Network Neighborhood etc., when restoring a workspace or at startup. This also applies to network computer root folders (ie. "\\somecomputer"), unless Windows folder option "Display the full path in the title bar" is enabled. Note that it works the same way for Aero even if the folder option says "Classic theme only". Will hopefully be solved in future versions. - Save/Restore Desktop Icons will not properly restore multiple icons with same name. For example "desktop.ini", which may be visible when hidden files are displayed, will often show up twice on the desktop, once from the All Users desktop and once for the logged in user. - When using the "Disable flashing folder window titles" option it can in some cases cause an auto-hiding taskbar to stay visible constantly after windows logon, until all open folders have been brought to front once. For some reason the taskbar thinks that the folders are still flashing and does not auto-hide until each folder has been brought into focus. This might only be the case if the Windows option "Restore previous folder windows at logon" is enabled. Help ==== There is an active forum where you can ask questions about ShellFolderFix.

Change log: ========== v1.1.4 ------ - added pages to options dialog to be able to fit more options, and to make a clear separation between normal and advanced/expert options - added folder list dialog, that lists all open folder windows with commands to activate, minimize and close windows. - added option to show "Save Database Now" command in menu, instead of always displaying it (now hidden by default) - added option to specify start delay that used when the app auto-starts and the Windows folder option "Restore previous folder windows at logon" is enabled, this option might help solve problems with windows that end up with incorrect size/pos at startup - added control modifier option so that windows can be closed without database or recent file list getting updated, when holding down a control key during close - added "Disable State Recording" functionality, when enabled it suspends database updates so that windows can be resized and moved without their new size/position being saved (optionally this can be overri
