4.7 Explorer

4.7.1 Introduction

ERD Commander 2005 Explorer, accessible from the Start menu, allows you

to browse the system’s volumes as well as the NetBIOS network

neighborhood; Active Directory browsing is not supported. The Explorer

window has a tree view on the left and a list view on the right that displays the

contents of the folder selected in the tree view. The My Computer and

Network Neighborhood desktop shortcuts open instances of Explorer that

select the associated folder.

ERD Commander 2005 Explorer supports many of the operations supported

by the Windows Explorer, including drag-and-drop, the up-directory button,

in-place rename, new-folder creation, delete, and property viewing for most

items. It also allows for mapping file shares located on other systems on the

network to local drive letters, and includes built-in support for cabinet (.CAB)

and ZIP files.

ERD Commander 2005 Explorer obtains icon information for file extensions

from the Software registry hive of the system you are repairing. If the

Software hive is corrupt or missing Explorer displays only basic icons.

Note:

Unlike the default behavior of Windows Explorer, ERD Commander 2005

Explorer displays hidden folders and files (those with the hidden attribute set),
displaying them with faded icons. Also unlike Windows Explorer, you cannot drag-
and-drop items between different Explorer windows; use the Copy To button on the
toolbar for this purpose.

The following sections describe the property dialogs associated with different

items, as well as how to map network shares to local drive letters.
