Commands
Many commands are found by right
clicking the mouse
Printing Options
Directory Report prints all file attributes by default
This includes all regular file attributes such as size, created date, accessed
date, modified date and
AVI, MP3, MSI, Version and WAV properties
It is strongly recommended that you pick which attributes you want printed or
saved to a file
It is also strongly recommended that you pick the widths of the remaining
attributes
since the default widths may not be wide enough
Select menu: Print / Printing options
Filters
By default, Directory Report scans all files.
You can narrow down the files scanned by filtering in or filtering out files
Select menu: Filters
Example: only scan files that have an mp3 extension
Directory Report will then only show directories with mp3 files
But you must remember that you have applied a filter,
and that the directory may have many other files of other types
So before deleting directories, please remember if you have applied a filter.
When in doubt, you can send the directory to the MS Explorer (Right click /
Sendto MS-Explorer)
The MS Explorer will show all files
Memory usage
Directory report stores the name
and attributes of each file and directory scanned
It can easily use a large amount of memory
You might have to increase the size of your paging file (Virtual Memory)
Duplicate Files/Directories
To speed up the search for
duplicate files/directories, it highly recommended that you set a filter to
limit the files scanned
Example: Set the minimum file size to 1,000,000 bytes

What happens to purchased software when I re-install my computer?
You must re-install the software that has been removed, this must be done by
re-running the software's original installation set-up. Softwrap™ will now
detect this as a first time run. To get the software back to a purchased status,
click the 'Buy-it' button. This will not put a charge through on your credit
card, but will verify that you have previously bought the software for this
specific computer.
