I gave up on PCTOOLS after version 4 when you no longer >view the contents of a file before you marked it. I bought Xtree because I saw it cheap at my local discount store. It's an Okay product. A lot better than File Manager, but somewhat lacking: -- JOIN a second harddrive onto a directory of the first harddrive, and the second drive disappears from Xtree, but the directory remains empty. -- Latest Zip file format not supported. -- It takes at least three mouse clicks to remove a file. Defaults for verification are wrong and can not be reconfigured. -- There is no PRINT function. What happened here? Xtree asleep at the wheel? -- Limited drag and drop, i.e. in File Manager you can take a file name and drop it onto a notepad icon. Same for other apps, you can drag an Excel spreadsheet onto an Excel icon. Xtree cannot do any of this. -- Xtree cannot edit a file. My advice: wait for Xtree's next release. -- Joe Wasik, Pacific Bell, San Ramon, CA (510)823-2422, jcwasik@pacbell.com
