Below is a list of bugs in the current version of Explorer++:

• No help file yet (it is in the process of been written).
• 'Show Drive Information' may show incorrect information for some partitions.
• Not all extended sort modes have been implemented yet (such as sorting by printer status in the Printers folder).

Bug fixes:
 - When a new file was created, it would not always be put into rename mode automatically [Windows XP only].

Bug fixes:
 - Fixed several directory monitoring bugs.
 - Shortcuts that pointed to a website (via a URL) would previously not be opened within the default browser. Fixed.

 - An error message is now shown when attempting to open a shortcut that points to a non-existent item.

   will both open the C:\ directory in its own tab.

   explorer++.exe /?
