You also can try the zip-version of freecommander (FC doesn't need an installation).
You find it at the bottom of http://www.freecommander.com/fc_u3_en.htm
I am already using the portable version, as mentioned (not U3, but Portable), so yes, I do have write permission. That's how I could copy the ...

You can find the location of your used ini-file at:

Problem!!

I renamed the .ini file in the pristine new copy to FreeCommander.ini.clean, and copied FreeCommander.ini from the old folder into it, restarted FC -- but it's not using the ini file! None of the customizations are showing up at all when I run FreeCommander from the new folder ...

Any thoughts?

I've tried replacing the software, but that didn't help. I'm seeing this problem daily and there appears to be no discernible pattern. It's very frustrating, because I'll be going along hard at work, and all of a sudden am interrupted by FreeCommander's inability to locate or open ...

I recently updated FreeCommander to 2008.06c and I run it portably, from a USB flash drive.

Three times now on WinXP SP3 and at least once on Vista Home Edition, I've randomly received "error reading registry" errors. That's the entire text of the error message.

Each time, I had just succeeded in ...

I have the .ods file format (OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet) and .xls (MS Excel) listed in the Quick View options as "as Internet" but don't understand how to set it up so I can easily preview these files. I end up opening them instead, or I'm sent to the Microsoft Windows File Association page because ...
