I don' understand something: I use a program called True launch Bar ( truelaunchbar.com/ ) and it stores icons in " C:\Users%User%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch~~images~~\Icons ".
I keep a copy of drive "C" on Drive "I". When I try to go to " I:\Users%User%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch~~images~~\Icons " to copy icons from Drive "I" to the same folder on "Drive C", I can't.
Or rather, in DirOpus I can't. If I go in another file manger all is well, but if I try to get there in DO, I can only get as far as " C:\Users%User%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\ " -- when I try to go into the images folder, I end up in the folder -- on the "C" drive!
Yet, if I try to do that very thing using Explorer or Total Commander, it works fine.
Please post a screenshot showing your lister just before you enter the images folder and indicate how your are entering it (e.g. double-clicking in the file display, selecting in the tree, etc.).
I checked and had no problem entering a folder with that name:
The right pane (Icons), is within a folder named "images" (sans quotes). If I then elect the "Icons" folder (double-clicking on the right pane icon) I end up at " C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch~~images~~\Icons " -- every time.
The " I " version is created by copying the "C" drive to " I:\WINDOWSCOPY".
That seems impossible, unless the Icons folder on the right is a shortcut/hardlink/softlink pointing to the area on the C:\ drive (which it doesn't look like from the Type column) or you have modified what happens when you double-click folders (have you?).
Are there any hidden files/folders inside the Icons directory? e.g. a Desktop.ini or something named with a long number in { } ? (Check with another tool and make sure it is set to show you hidden files. If you can see the desktop.ini on the left of your screenshot in the other tool then it's showing hidden files.)
BTW, your first and second posts disagree on which drives and folders are involved at each stage which is confusing and makes me wonder if there is a missing step or something here that we don't know about yet.
Leo, The one labeled "Before" shows the right pane with the Icons folder one level down -- on drive "I". Double-clicking "Icons" give me the after shot -- note the drive in the right panel.
When you're in the I-drive ~images~ folder, what happens if you manually type \Icons on to the end of the path field and hit return? Do you end up in the right place then?

Jon, both renaming and/or accessing from the folder tree put me back on drive "C" the minute I entered the Ions folder. I get to Images without incident, but when entering Icons, it switches.
The interesting thing is that if I do it in explorer, or via My COmputer, it works fine.
Sorry, I forgot it was the Icons folder that has the issue, not images. Going back a couple of steps, what happens if you rename the Icons folder on I: and then double-click it?
I turned off ALL startup programs via MSConfig. Then I rebooted.
Then, I just totally uninstalled DO (including registry entries). Then I double-checked, using Total COmmander and My Computer (Explorer), and drilling down past images into Icons had no problem, remaining on Drive "I" -- which is a hard partition, not a mapped drive.
ThenI re-installed DO, and, before making ANY changes at all, I tried to repeat the process of getting into the Icons folder on drive "I" at the parent level to "Icons" all is fine. But the minute I entered the Icons folder, I was on Drive "C", not Drive "I".
