- *** You may need to upgrade your COMCTL32.DLL ***
- This version includes a file named
- Com32upd.exe that will upgrade your
- COMCTL32.DLL. You will need to run
- this program file if you encounter
- a problem with the Windows 95 Explorer
- file/folder properties dialog. The
- problem is that you will see the
- properties dialog extends past the
- right edge of the screen and no matter
- how much you drag it to the left, you
- will never see the right edge of the
- properties dialog.
-
- To determine if you need to upgrade your
- COMCTL32.DLL you should install FileNotes.
- After installing FileNotes, open the
- Windows 95 Explorer and right Click on a
- File or Folder. Select Properties from the
- right click menu. If the properties dialog
- does not display correctly then you need to
- upgrade your COMCTL32.DLL.
-
- Features and Limitations
- ------------------------
- FileNotes integrates with Windows 95 to
- allow you to keep notes about all your
- files and folders. You create and access
- all your notes through the Windows 95
- Explorer. To access and create notes,
- simply right click the mouse on any file
- or folder. FileNotes can be accessed by
- right clicking on any folder or file object
- on the system including the desktop and
- file open dialog boxes.
-
- The notes that you create will follow
- your files and folders whereever you copy
- them. When you copy or move a file or
- folder, the new files created will have
- the same note as the original.
-
- When you use the Windows 95 Explorer to
- delete a file, the note will follow the
- file to the recycle bin so that if you
- restore the file, the note will also be
- restored. Unfortunately, this version
- will not preserve notes for folders that
- are sent to the recycle bin.
-
- FileNotes includes the FileNotes Explorer
- that allows you to quickly find, review,
- add and update your notes. The FileNotes
- Explorer can be accessed from either the
- Start | Programs menu or from the Windows
- Explorer right click menu.
-
- This version of FileNotes does not support
- short file names. This means that when you
- move or copy files and folders in a DOS box,
- you must use the long file name if you want
- your notes to follow your files and folders.
- Remember that if your long file name has a
- space in it you must put double quotes around
- it. Also note that the short and long filenames
- are the same for files with names within the 8.3
- format.
