.fbopts

The file that stores most of FileBoss' options, settings and dialog data. For portability reasons, most of the settings used by FileBoss are stored in disk files rather than the registry (exceptions being a pointer to the options file itself and the location and size of windows and toolbars).

Normally the default options file is FileBoss.fbopts located in the Data folder that was created when FileBoss was installed.

.fbfileset

Contains Virtual Folders that were saved to disk. These can be very small files as when the Virtual Folder was saved as a definition, or very large files when the actual entries in a Virtual Folder were saved.

.fbwins

Saves information about the windows (explore and Virtual Folders) that where open when FileBoss was last closed. This file will be read by FileBoss when it first starts to reload all the Explore and Virtual Folders that were open when it was last closed.

(Note that whether or not a default .fbwins file is processed and, if so, how it is processed can be controlled by settings in the Startup Options panel of the Options dialog (accessed by 'Options | Program Options...' command from the main menu.

.fbwins files can also be saved and loaded while FileBoss is running. Use the 'File | Open Window List...' and 'File | Save Window List...' commands from the main menu or double-clicking on an icon or shortcut.

.fbdzones

Stores information about the current state of Drop Zones. The default file is loaded by FileBoss when it first start to restore all the Drop Zones that were open when the program last closed.

 

.fbdzones files can also be saved and loaded while FileBoss is running. Use the 'Drop Zones | Save...' and 'Drop Zones | Load...' commands from the main menu.
