Total Commander?
Hi, folks,
Soon I was object of terrible virus attack when DL some audio. I ceased the attack but.... Since them when I press some of my disks letters - for example D:- this disk is not open but appeared window Open with which is very annoying. So, I am forced to search for an alternative of Windows Explorer.. In a book of swedish specialist Michel Carbo (or Karbo) he said good words for Total Commander..I found and installed TC. Would be so kind in a mean time to answer my Q: Is this TC good program? Because I am unable with TC to do next action: Right mouse button on file(s). Then I do not see WinRar to archive this file?I have WinRar. Maybe some settings or what? TY in advance for your advice and time to help me.. :thumbs: |

you need to hold the mouse button for about a second or so
or you could just press shift+f10 on the selected file. or that button on your keyboard next to the windows one. you know, the one you never knew what was for

Configuration >> Options >> Packer. Click the ">>" symbol next to RAR packer and you'll be able to create RAR archives directly from Total Commander - select the files you want to pack, press ALT+F5 and choose RAR as the compression method.

it's good, but i use normal windows explorer. you can navigate via keyboard in it too, so it doesn't slow me down
but then you have these annoyings of explorer like copy dialog and such, it's just that i got used to explorer already

It's a matter of preference, obviously.
Also. Right-click the drive's icon. Click "Explore". There will be a file named "autorun.inf" in the drive's root. It may be set to hidden, so make sure you've enabled showing of hidden/system files. Find and delete it, and the problem should be gone. |

But the system is trying to open a specific file instead of the drive contents. It's either autorun or something similar - and again: the file might be set to hidden/system; if our friend has not enabled displaying files with those attributes, then he won't find the autorun even if it exists.
Of course, knowing what exactly is the name of the file his OS is showing the "open with" dialogue for might tell us a lot more here. |

Yes, well... the fact Total Commander can replace WE entirely doesn't mean you should tolerate having limited functionality in WE.

That name is very important - once we know it, we can start looking into what's causing the problem in the first place.
