I am not able to save my settings in Folders Popup 4.01.
For example I select the language "German". And then? I don't see any Button to save these setting. The option-window is shown without borders at top and bottom.
My OS ist Vista SP2
Hi Werner,
I'm unable to test FP under Vista but users reported using it in this environment without problem. Did you install FP using the "easy setup" procedure or the "portable" procedure
Did you change the language in the setup window (there should be an "OK" button) or in the following Options window (with a "Save" button?

Good evening Jean
The new version 4 is very good. Many thanks!
When you add a folder in FP the letter of the drive is used in mapped drives.
However, it should be used the "alias"! Can this be changed?
That would make it much easier. I'll let you get a screen print with email.
It was not very easy to install your very good tool in the Terminal Server W2k12R2 environment with many users. I have now made it with some work. It works fine!
Thx
With best regards
Peter
