FreeCommander Forum

Hello,
in the old FreeCommander it was possible to change the drive by pressing Alt-F1/F2 and then entering the drive letter. It seems that is not possible in FreeCommander XE. Or have I overlooked the appropriate setting?

Try
Alt+F1
Alt+F2

Or change them here:

Sorry, was an error in my message. I tried Alt+F1 and Alt+F2 which activates the drive dropdown list. But within the list, I could not select the drive by pressing its drive letter. This was possible in the old FreeCommander.

NOT confirmed. Without any problems I can select drive by pressing its drive letter within the list.

Windows XP SP3 Pro
FC XE 653 donor

Not confirmed on x64 FCXE build 653 Donor
I can perfectly select the drive with its drive letter inside of the ALT F1/F2 menu.

I see that the first letter of each drive entry is underlined. But they are listed like this:
(C:) Sys
(D:) Data
\\ (H:) home
\\ (P:) Projects

I think the drive letter should be underlined to be the correct hotkey within the list.

Mine looks like this:

The tab caption also looks strange:
With activated "Show drive char in tab caption" it looks like this:
N:(N:) Storage (\\servername\directory)

Any idea what is causally wrong here?

These are my current settings:





Try them and see if it helps.

I am not sure what I should change in this settings and which effect that should have...?!

What is your Windows version?
Could you show us or send me directly the screenshot from the Explorer view of the drives?

I am using Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit. When you say, you need to know how the Explorer view look like, I remember that I have used a tool (don´t know the name at the moment) which sets the drive letter to be at the front of the drive labels. So I think this could be the reason for the problem?!

Maybe you can find your "tool" for showing drive letter first in one of these answers:

I am sure I can find the tool, but I still want to have the drive letters first in Windows Explorer.
