NT Workstation Users Information
---------------------------------------------To map a network drive, please follow the instructions for NT Server users. The Path drop-down listbox will not display all previously attached servers and areas, however.
Keys Changed from Previous Versions
--------------------------------------------------- ALT+F6 has been changed to ALT+F9. (ALT+F6 is used by Windows 95 and cannot be used by Commander.)
- Editor:
Shortcut keys ALT+F6 (Count) and ALT+F8 (Goto) have been changed to F6 and F8.
Save As has been changed to ALT+F then A.- Configurable Speed Search Keys:
You can configure how Norton Commander interprets the keyboard - as in previous versions of Norton Commander or as in Windows 95. The new default for speed search is CTRL+ALT. To change your keyboard interpretation, choose Configuration from the Commands menu. On the Compatibility tab of the Configuration Options dialog, selecting the <ALT> option changes speed search to work as in previous version of Norton Commander.- Command History:
CTRL+UP-Arrow and CTRL+DOWN-Arrow offer the ability to go back and forth, selecting commands from the command line history. These replace the old CTRL+X and CTRL+E keys.Troubleshooting
----------------------Q: Why do I get a Sharing Violation error?
A: You may get this error if you tried to perform an operation on a file that is being used by another application.Q: Why can't I view any files?
A: Norton Commander utilizes the Microsoft Quick View or the Inso Quick View Plus viewer. If neither of these are installed on your system, Commander will use its own internal text viewer. Consult your Windows 95 Installation Guide, or see the online help about obtaining Quick View Plus. Also see the end of this document.Q: How do I remove the NC Scheduler from my taskbar?
A: The NC Scheduler must be shut down first. If you want to turn the NC Scheduler off permanently, choose Shut Down from the NC Scheduler Options menu.Q: When I drag an .EXE or .COM file to the other panel, why does it not copy the file?
A: When you drag a single .EXE or .COM file to another location, Windows 95 assumes that you are creating a shortcut. To copy the files, hold down the CTRL key while dragging files.Q: Why have I lost my templates in the Filter/Cleanup Filter dialogs?
A: The Norton Commander registry entries have been corrupted somehow. To fix this, shut down Norton Commander and run the NC.REG file, which is found in the Norton Commander directory. This will restore your Norton
Commander registry back to its default.Q: Why can't I associate a file extension with more than one application?
A: Norton Commander now only supports one association per extension.- See Troubleshooting in the online help for additional information on errors you might come across.
Incomplete Installation
------------------------------"Setup has found an incomplete installation. This is probably due to installing or uninstalling a
Symantec product without restarting your system. Please reboot your computer to complete the previous installation before running setup again."If you see this message, the installation did not complete successfully. This is caused by Setup finding ~SYMINST.EXE and _SYMINST.BAT in the Windows directory. To complete the installation remove these files from the Windows directory and restart Setup.
This also applies to the uninstall process.
Commander File Transfer
---------------------------------Pin layout of the cables:
You must use a Commander Link Cable to link two computers together.Problems Linking:
If you have problems linking two machines, you should try the following simple method.
- Join two machines using the Commander Link cable (Serial/Parallel).
- Turn the Status bar on.
- From the Commands menu (on both machines), choose Scan for Connection.
- The Status bar will indicate that the machine is scanning.
- When a connection is made the Status bar indicates this with : "Link: LPT#/COM#".
- Once connection has been made, the menu item 'Link' in the Left/Right menu on both machines becomes enabled.
- Select Link from the Left/Right menu and you will see the other machine in that panel.
Problems with Long File Names and the Link:
You can only copy LFNs across the Link if the Target Drive supports them.Pin layout for serial cables:
