Bugs:

1. It is possible to open multile help windows.
   Workaround: Don't do it; you only need one.
2. The icon column of the Detailed Information window does not show icons for shortcuts. Also, if you had files with a ".xxx" extension and associated it with program XYZ by using the MS Explorer, right-click a ".xxx" file, select "Open with...", select program XYZ, and told Explorer to "always use that program to open ".xxx" files". Explorer will show all ".xxx" files with XYZ's icon but PFrank will show whatever the original default program was.
   Workaround: None.
3. Sometimes the bitrate, duration, and type are displayed incorrectly for mp3 files of a multi-track CD. ALBW format is OK.
   Workaround: None.
4. Cannot set file attributes for unicode files/folders.
   Workaround: None.
