Among others, XFolder extends your Workplace Shell by introducing the following features:

1. New standard context menu items for folders and data files, such as quick folder settings, "Select by name", "Snap to grid", "Copy filename" etc.

2. Creating objects from context menus.

3. Folder context menu items are freely configurable by placing objects into a special configuration folder.

4. Display of folder contents in context menus for quicker access without having to open a folder.

5. Display of the full folder path in a folder's window title.

6. The prettiest and most flexible folder status bars on the planet. ;-)

7. Extended folder sort functions: additional sort criteria and system-wide sort settings.

8. Auto-scroll Tree views feature.

9. Preparing folders for QuickOpen at WPS startup.

10. Folder hotkeys for frequently used folder/file operations.

11. Replaceable system icons for the most common object types.

12. "Restart WPS" feature which doesn't ruin your WPS settings.

13. Extended Shutdown with a number of useful enhancements: automatic reboot options with BootManager support ("boot to Linux"), Shutdown can be cancelled, and hanging applications can be skipped.

14. New Startup / Shutdown folders.

15. User-friendly WPS class list for class manipulations.

16. "OS/2 Kernel" object for CONFIG.SYS settings.

Note: A few features are disabled per default to prevent problems already after XFolder has been installed, because these might cause problems on some systems. These features are:

• the Extended Shutdown; this can be found in a new settings page of the Desktop's Settings notebook;

• folder status bars; these can be enabled on the "Status bars" page in the new "Workplace Shell" object;

• the extended sort functions; these can be enabled on the "Sort" page in the new "Workplace Shell" object;

• display of icons in the new "folder content" functions; this can be enabled on the "Context menus" page in the new "Workplace Shell" object.
