FreeCommander Forum

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone knew how I can get free commander to show Alcohol 52% custom icons as opposed to it just showing me a generic white icon.
I have tried all the Settings - View - Icon settings with no change. The icons show properly using my Windows 7 64bit Explorer. TIA for any help.

I don't have Alcohol installed but I guess Alcohol uses overlay Icons.
FC is 32 Bit. So Overlay Icons from a 64 Bit program will not be shown.
Same happens e.g. with SVN Subversion see here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3150
If you install also the 32 Bit version of the program then it will show the Overlay Icons also.

Alcohol 52% is a 32bit program so there not a 64bit version to install.

Try this:
- hold Win-Key and open Context in FC.

Depending on your settings in FreeCommander.ini (ShowContextMenu64Bit=?) you can have both context menus in FC:
- hold Win key -> right Mousekey -> 64 Bit Context
- right Mousekey -> 32 Bit Context
or the opposite way:
- hold Win key -> right Mousekey -> 32 Bit Context
- right Mousekey -> 64 Bit Context
I guess you will have the second way.

I see how to use the different context menus which mine was set at ShowContextMenu64Bit=1 which I changed to ShowContextMenu64Bit=0 but the icon for the file didn't change. However if I look at the properties sheet of the file in question it shows the right icon on one context menu but not the other.

In the Tree view (left side) you will not get the correct Context.
The context is only correct in the file view (right side).
You can try to hold Shift key and then right Mosuekey. Then you get some more options but I'm not sure if it will show your icons.

I know now the problem is the fact that Free Commander is a 32bit program and its wont show the proper icons. Hopefully there will be a 64bit version of Free Commander in the future and in my opinion would make this already this already excellent program perfect.
