Control-drive letter?

[alank2]

In Windows filer you can switch drives with Control+DriveLetter, for example if I am on C: and want to go to D: all I have to do is press CTRL+D and it will jump there. Is this functionality missing?

[schinagl]

CTRL+ALT+Driveletter works here

[alank2]

It does, but why not just CTRL+Dirveletter? This is from the NT 4.0 winfile help:

To change drive
Or press CTRL and the letter of the drive you want to change to.

CTRL+Driveletter works in NT 4.0 filer as well as CTRL+ALT+Driveletter

[schinagl]

CTRL+Letter is used here to have hotkeys for menu entries.

This has been improved since NT4 Winfile

[alank2]

I see that now. I'll have to get used to using ctrl+alt for drive changes then.

[schinagl]

I know... but it was more uncommon when you could not do it at all a few years ago, so I added the ALT to have it back

[alank2]

Sounds great! Thank you!

Somewhat related to this is that CTRL-ALT-M does not select drive letter M:. It works for other drives like CTRL-ALT-D, etc. however. Perhaps something about CTRL and M being involved (CR) are an issue?

This must be a specific problem on your side since it works in
many of my installations

[alank2]

It is. It looks like my backup software (Macrium) is capturing CTRL-ALT-M so it isn't being passed through to winfile. Thanks again!
