TC7pb2 and Windows Vista suggestions

1. Total Commander displays unkown folders when in DIR Tree View mode.

Highlighted folders are something I belive generated during WinVista setup, but there is no way to display in Windows Vista.
Plus they are inaccessible in TC7pb2, so I think it's safe to filter those folders.

2. Command line box is set too big. (folders with long name is cut from the front as highlighted below).

1. Thanks for your report. I will try to filter out such folders which only consist of a GUID number.

2. This is by design. The command line shows the right part of the path, and the header the left part.

2ghisler,

Thanks for the reply.
I know this may confuse you as it does to me, but I think it's worth noticing you.

After quite a while, for some reason (I have no idea why or how), those GUID numbered folders are gone now.

They appear back again, if I clean install Windows Vista and run TC7pb2. :(

And when they are gone, I can copy & paste file(s) from TC7pb2 to Windows Explorer and vice versa.

Today, I clean installed Windows Vista Ultimate x64 English and worked for a while, then I formatted my HDD and installed Korean version of WinVista Ultimate K x64.

After series of installing Windows Vista again and again, now I can confirm the reported folder(s) with GUID numbers issue is(are) not showing. I must have messed up at some point.

I can confirm after clean installation of Windows Vista x64, THESE FOLDERS ARE NOT APPEARING!

I appologize for the confusion.

Thanks.
