Access Drives
and Folders Quickly
with FileBoss's Drive Bar
(New for FileBoss Version 2.5)
The FileBoss Drive Bar
Starting wit version 2.5 FileBoss provides a
toolbar listing all the active drives. But not
only does it provide quick access to the root of
the drive but also to the last twenty used
folders on that drive.
What is a used folder? A used folder is
one in which you have spent some time - at least
five seconds by default. This prevents the list
of drive folders from being cluttered up with
folders you just viewed briefly while on the way
to the folder you wanted.
How to use
 Clicking
one of the buttons representing a drive displays a drop down
menu from which you can select either the root of the drive
(the first entry) or a folder you have recently visited.
If a folder is selected that no
longer exits FileBoss will ask if you would like to
remove that entry from the list of visited folders.
Dynamic drives in use
FileBoss updates the drive bar
dynamically as drives are added and removed (such as
flash media and USB drives) so that the drive bar is
always up to date.
Displaying and hiding the Drive Bar
 The
drive bar is displayed and hidden just like any other
toolbar. To do so right-click over any toolbar or empty
space near a toolbar click on the name of the toolbar
you want to turn off or on.
The toolbars can also be turned on and off using the
Windows | Toolbars > main
menu.
The Drive Bar can be move to any of the four sides of
the FileBoss window or even made to float anywhere on
the desktop. To do so click on the gripper to the left
(or top if the toolbar is aligned vertically) and drag
the Drive Bar to the desired location.
If the Drive Bar is floating it can be quickly returned
to its previous docked location (along one of the four
sides of the main window) by double-clicking its title
bar or dragging the title bar to that location.
