WELCOME TO MIJENIX WIZMANAGER
WizManager is a powerful "add-on" for Windows' File Manager. It
appends many features missing in File Manager, and enhances
your power to manage your disks and files.
IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEM DURING OR AFTER THE INSTALLATION,
PLEASE NOTIFY MIJENIX. WE WILL TRY TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE
PROBLEM. Mijenix's address can be found at the end of this file.
*****************************************************************
!!! IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES, PLEASE READ !!!
*****************************************************************
- WizManager's Buttonbar uses powerful technics to provide speed
and innovative features. This can push certain Windows video
drivers for ACCELERATED video boards to the edge. Make sure you
have the latest video drivers for your video board if you
encounter a problem with WizManager. Standard Windows video
drivers (VGA and SuperVGA) cause no problem.
- DO NOT DECLARE MORE THAN 4 EXTENSIONS IN THE WINFILE.INI
[AddOns] section:
Extensions to File Manager are not executable files (EXE) but
Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) which are automatically loaded by
File Manager when the latter is started and destroyed when File
Manager is closed.
How does File Manager 'know' or recognize extensions?
File Manager gets all the necessary information by reading its
initialization file WINFILE.INI (not WIN.INI!) which is located
in the Windows directory. The different data in WINFILE.INI is
sorted by sections (a section title is enclosed in square
brackets [...]). The section of interest for recognizing and
loading extensions is called [AddOns]. This is where extension
paths are declared, one per line, in the form (example):
[AddOns]
Extension1=PathToExtension1
Extension2=PathToExtension2
Each extension will add a top-level menu to File Manager. The
documentation for the Windows File Manager Extender Interface
states that 5 top-level menus may be added to the File Manager
menu. However, due to what appears to be a bug, the fifth menu
item does not work properly. Any command selected from the
fifth menu item becomes confused with the adjacent File Manager
"Window" menu, and the corresponding command from the "Window"
menu is executed instead.
What this means is simple:
DO NOT DECLARE MORE THAN 4 EXTENSIONS IN THE [AddOns] section!
You may presently be using File Manager Extensions, like
- DOS 6 Tools (Microsoft)
- MetzLaunch (Metz TaskManager)
- NDW (Norton Desktop)
- File Commander (Wilson WindowWare)
- FExtend (BarbarSoft)
- or others.
As File Manager limits you to 4 extensions, it is up to you to
"keep up" and maintain the [AddOns] section of WINFILE.INI. If
you have more than 4 declarations under [AddOns], simply type a
';' (without the quotes) at the beginning of the line(s) you
want File Manager to ignore. This lets you keep all the
declarations in case you decide later to alter your choices and
start only the ones you need.
During the installation of WizManager, the [AddOns] section of
WINFILE.INI is updated to include the WizManager library path.
This declaration is appended at the end of the [AddOns]
section. If more than 3 other declarations exist above
WizManager's line, proceed as explained above to cancel out one
or more declarations (use Notepad.exe for example to edit
WINFILE.INI, and modify the [AddOns] entries only).
