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). *** INFORMATION FILES *** For Network installation please read the file NETWORK.TXT.
