WinGO Help

You can obtain help on any dialog box control in WinGO either by pressing F1, right clicking on the control or clicking on the [image] icon on the title bar of the dialog box.


This is a list of the currently defined aliases and the folders they refer to.

To change an entry you can simply double click on it with the left mouse button, or select with a single click and press Modify.


Move the current entry up one position in the list.


Move the current entry down one position in the list.


Add a new item to the list.

Pressing this button brings up a dialog box where the new details can be entered.

If an item is already selected, the new item will be added after it, otherwise it will be placed at the bottom of the list.


Modify the currently selected item in the list.

Pressing this button brings up a dialog box where the existing details can be modified.


Delete the currently selected item in the list.

You will be asked to confirm before the item is actually removed.


Adds a separator.  This will appear as a horizontal line when the alias menu is displayed.

If an item is already selected, the separator will be added after it, otherwise it will be placed at the bottom of the list.


This is the alias for this particular folder entry.

The text entered here will appear in the popup menu when the left mouse button is pressed on the WinGO icon in the system tray.


This is the folder to be opened in Explorer when the alias is selected.


When this box is checked, this alias will be placed at the top of a new column in the popup menu.


Display a folder tree to help you locate the folder you want to open when this alias is selected.

The name of the folder you select will automatically be put into the Folder edit box.


When this box is checked, the folder will be opened as an "open" view.

Open views in MS Explorer are windows which simply show the contents of the folder, without the tree on the left hand side.


When this box is checked, the folder will be opened as an "explorer" view.

Explorer views in MS Explorer are windows which show the contents of the folder and also a tree on the left hand side which shows the folder's location in the complete folder hierarchy.


When this button is checked, the folder will be opened with the view selected from the "Open As..." menu.

This menu can be found by right-clicking on the WinGO icon in the system tray.


When this button is checked, Explorer will open the folder up as the root (topmost node) in the folder tree.

You will not be able to see folders above this one, but this does mean that a lot of complexity is hidden, and the window opens correspondingly faster.


You must enter an alias.

This is the name that will be associated with the folder when the popup menu is displayed.


You must enter a folder name.

If you're not sure of the full path name, press the Browse button.
