   Working great, seems to load faster than before
   
   @anomoly - USB flash drive letter refresh works properly, make sure "extras>settings>auto refresh on drive" the "fixed/removeabke/remote" is checked ON
   
   @tux - to get tree explorer style,
   
   a.) click somewhere on the left pane window
   b.) go to top menu and click view>tree
   c.) go to top menu, and go to view>split window>split 100/0
   
   And that should do it.
   
   Personally, I use horizontal split with tree explorer view which gives more room for long filenames.
   
   Another little known but cool alternative freeware "dual pane" file manager is Nexusfile:

   And the old school windows file manager, which I sometimes use because it still works well.

   Not bad after all; in fact it is one of the best two-pane file managers and surely the best free one. The only thing I don't like is that fC doesn't have an "explorer-style" layout (one treebar and one file panel). But that is some kind of personal taste.

   This is something I use every day and would recommend to power users.
   
   Free, robust, fast dual-pane explorer system with a huge amount of useful features.

   Perhaps the best file handaling interface I have ever used.
   But the link on this page downloads the help file

   RE: flash files...
   I opened a flash file with View and was presented with text but when I clicked View>Image/multimedia my file played as a video.

   Grabbed the zip and it still will not recognize a flash when it is running & you plug it in. You MUST close and reopen it still. It has NO ability to browse the PC, as in all drives in one window. It locked up the pc & I had to kill it and I was even using it. MuCommander's crossplatform SINGLE jar file works better than this. Necromancer under Console2 or by itself, is very powerful but has a dos gui which restricts naming.
   The auto refresh is on by default. My pc does not run explorer and it DOES NOT UPDATE
