ZTreeWin Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions

Q1:  When I start ZTreeWin, why are no files visible, and all directories have a '+' beside their name?

A:   The default 'logging method' of ZTreeWin is 'root only'.

To tell ZTreeWin to log an entire drive, you can do one of the following:

- Open the configuration module (via Alt-F10) and set the option on page 1-P, 'Disk logging method' to 'full disk'.

- In the [L]og command, press F2 to change the method to 'full disk'.

- Press '*', (or use Alt-Log/Branch), to fully log the current branch.

cms2EX Ztree2Excel ™ Tips & Tricks

Q2:  How do I set the window size of ZTreeWin?

A: The size of the window is determined by the text-mode of ZTreeWin, (for

example, 80x25), and the font being used, (when running in a window).

Use Alt-F8 to change the width, Alt-F9 to change the height or Alt-F7 to

maximize the window size.  To set the default window size, use Alt-F10 to

configure options 2-A and 2-B.  To change the font used in windowed mode, you must edit the ZTreeWin shortcut properties, (right click on the shortcut, and select 'Properties').  When maximized with Alt-F7, ZTreeWin uses the maximum size reported by Windows, which may cause its borders to go off screen, or even some text to be chopped.  Use the /MAX= command line switch to adjust the size used by ZTreeWin in maximized mode. For example /MAX=-1:-2 will set a max size 1 row shorter and 2 columns narrower than that reported by Windows.

Q3:  I want to change the screen settings in my ZTreeWin shortcut, but the

options are not available.

A: If, in Win95/98/ME, your shortcut points to ZTW.EXE, it should instead

point to ZTWIN.BAT, in order to display the advanced shortcut properties.

Q4:  How do I make ZTreeWin run in 'fullscreen' mode?

A: If ZTreeWin is running in a standard sized window, (80x25, 80x43 or

80x50), you can switch to/from fullscreen mode at any time using Alt-Enter. To set ZTreeWin to open in fullscreen mode by default, you must edit your

shortcut properties to select 'fullscreen' as opposed to 'windowed'.  If you

switch to fullscreen mode with a non-standard sized window, you may need to use Alt-F7 to have ZTreeWin redraw the screen correctly.  Note that fullscreen mode is not supported by Windows Vista.

Q5:  After running programs from ZTreeWin, why does the window shrink?

A:   When the window in which ZTreeWin is running uses a font setting of

AUTO, the window will shrink when ZTreeWin closes.  To prevent this, set a fixed font in the shortcut properties.

  Q6:  I pressed 'maximize' on the toolbar, now ZTreeWin is fullscreen – how

do I get back in a window?

A: To return ZTreeWin to windowed mode, press Alt-Enter.  (The toolbar and

the Alt-Enter key are function of Windows, not ZTreeWin).

Q7:  How do I make Alt-Q exit to the current directory in a command

prompt?

A: For this to work, it is necessary to start ZTreeWin using ZTWIN.BAT. ZTWIN.BAT is created in the ZTreeWin directory the first time you Quit ZTreeWin.

Q8:  I edited my ZTWIN.BAT, but every time I quit ZTreeWin my changes

are gone!

A: ZTWIN.BAT is rewritten each time you Quit, to support Alt-Quit. You

should instead create a new .BAT file that contains all the settings you

want, and calls ZTWIN.BAT, passing your command-line parameters to it.

Q9:  After I upgraded to a newer version of Windows, ZTreeWin stopped

working!

A: Delete the existing ZTreeWin desktop shortcut, and manually create a new

one. For Win95/98/ME, point your shortcut to ZTWIN.BAT. In NT/2000/XP/

Vista you can point directly to ZTW.EXE.

Q10: When I try to use the Alt-F5 command to open a .ZIP (or other

archive) file, the screen flashes, but nothing else seems to happen.

A: Some ATI and nVidia video software 'hijack' the Alt-F5 command. You can

use Shift-Alt-F5 in these cases. Alternatively, with ATI you can go into

"Display Properties / Settings / Advanced / Options," and uncheck "Enable ATI taskbar icon application“. With nVidia you can right-click the Desktop and use "nView properties" to release the Alt-F5 hot key.

Q11: How do I make 'TurboZip' (or whatever) the default archiver?

A: Edit ARCHIVER.BB2, and move the lines for your preferred default archiver

to the top of the file.  First save a backup of ARCHIVER.BB2 in case it should become 'messed up'!  Be sure to move the entire section exactly

as-is, including any blank lines.

  Q12: How do I manage 'spanned' archives with ZTreeWin?

A: ZTreeWin can be used to create a spanned (multi-volume) archive if the

archiver selected does this by default for removable media, (for example

PKZip 2.50). Otherwise, you can manually add the required parameters to

the archive command line before actually launching the archiver.

Q13: Why does the screen blink after I run an external program?

A: This is a known restriction in ZTreeWin caused by the use of 'bright‘

background colors. Until a solution is devised, it is advisable to use just the basic 8, (dim), background colors in your ZTreeWin color scheme.

Q14: How do I start ZTreeWin in a specific directory?

A: ZTreeWin will start by default in the current directory, (or the working

directory of your shortcut). To start somewhere else, either make that directory current before loading ZTreeWin, or change the working directory

of your shortcut, or pass the desired pathname to ZTreeWin as a command-line parameter, (for example, ZTW C:\DOCS).

A: The MEM command displays memory available to the MS-DOS session

running the command.  ZTreeWin uses the Win32 API to display available

SYSTEM memory.

Q16: How do I view my .DBF files like I did in XTree?

A: ZTreeWin comes with a 'native' .DBF viewer, (ZTW_VDBF.EXE), which is

launched using the Open command. ZTreeWin's internal viewer does not

provide 'formatted' viewing of special file types - for this, you will need the help of third-party viewer programs.

Q17: How do I use my .XYZ viewer from within ZTreeWin?

A: ZTreeWin supports the use of external viewers and other applications

via the use of the Open command.  If the file you wish to open is

a known file type for an associated application, there's nothing else to do – just highlight the file and press 'O' for Open.

If, on the other hand, the viewer is not associated with a file type, you must

create a simple .BAT file, named to match the extension of the file

type for which you wish to use it, (for example DOC.BAT). The contents of

this .BAT should specify the external viewer to run, with the necessary

%1-%8 parameters to pass the current filename, (see F1 Help on Alt-Batch

for the meaning of the % values, and see the supplied sample *.BA_ files).

Q18: Can I use the XYZ viewer from my copy of XTreeGold (for DOS) in

ZTreeWin?

A: Yes, it is possible to make use of the graphics viewers from XTreeGold

under ZTreeWin, (others do not work, unfortunately, as they cannot be

executed from a command prompt).

As an example, here is how you can view Autocad .DWG files from ZTreeWin, using the XTreeGold v3.0 DWG viewer: (This assumes ZTreeWin resides in C:\ZTREE):

-Copy files EGAVGA.BGI, XTG_VGA.DRV and XTG_GDRV.XTP to C:\ZTREE.

-Copy XTG_GDWG.XTP to C:\ZTREE and rename to XTG_GDWG.EXE.

-Create a file in C:\ZTREE called DWG.BAT, the contents of which is:

  @C:

  @CD \ZTREE

  @XTG_GDWG.EXE %1 XTG_VIEW.TMP XTG_GDRV.XTP

-Then, just highlight a .DWG file, and press 'O' for Open.

Q19: How do I display long filenames?

A: Either use a different Alt-F file display mode, (or set permanently with Alt-

F10), use Alt-I for extended file information, or press 'R' for Rename to display the current name, (and then Esc to cancel the function). You can also adjust the width of the extension for display using the Shift-Left and Shift-Right commands. Use Shift-Home to reset.

Q20: When I Quit ZTreeWin, I get a Windows error message.

A: There are some cases where a video-related problem can cause a crash

in 'WINOLDAP‘. To avoid this, either set the window font in the ZTreeWin

shortcut from AUTO to a fixed size, or add /Y to the command line.

Q21: Why are my files all displayed in different colors?

A: ZTreeWin adds the ability to color-code your files based on their name or

attributes. Please refer to ZCOLORS.INI for information on customizing

the colors. If you really dislike it, just rename or delete ZCOLORS.INI!

Q22: Why won't ZTreeWin let me change the timestamp of a file to an odd

number of seconds?

A: This is a limitation of the Windows FAT file-systems, which store the

seconds of a timestamp in a packed format in multiples of 2.  (NTFS does

not have this limitation).

Q23: Why doesn't ZTreeWin let me access a file or directory name

containing a copyright (or other extended character) symbol?

A: ZTreeWin is a console application, and is restricted to displaying characters

from the current OEM codepage. Normally all characters can be converted

from ANSI to OEM for display, but there may be exceptions. In such cases, try using the /O command line switch to disable this translation. It may cause other characters to be displayed with the wrong symbol, but you should now at least have access to all directories and files.

Q24: How do I tell ZTreeWin to print to my USB-attached printer?

A: It is not necessary to tell ZTreeWin which port your printer is attached

to. In the print function, use the 'Print to:' option, then press TAB

until you see the name of your printer. If printing directly to the named

printer does not work, you should instead use the option 'Windows drivers‘

then select your printer from the Windows print dialog when it opens.

Q25: Suddenly now, when I try to start ZTreeWin, I get a message that

says the program cannot be run.

A: Under Win9x, make sure you still have a file called CONAGENT.EXE in the

\Windows\System directory.  Certain utilities delete this, assuming it‘s no longer needed!

Q26: After upgrading/installing Norton Internet Security, whenever I try to

use the Edit command, or run an external command from ZTreeWin, my whole

system locks up!

A: There appears to be an issue with NIS2003 that prevents ZTreeWin from

launching a new command shell, if it itself was loaded from one. The solution is to create a new shortcut that launches ZTW.EXE directly.

Q27: Can ZTreeWin be used safely with FAT32 and NTFS?

A: Yes!  ZTreeWin accesses devices only through the API, so it is fully

compatible with FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS, (and even HPFS under NT).

Q28: Does ZTreeWin work in DOS?

A: No, ZTreeWin is a Win32 program, and will not run under DOS, or Win32s

with DOS.

Q29: How did you get the source code for XTreeGold?

A: I didn't! This is completely my own work.  Of course, I take no credit

for the most of the design.  (Thanks Jeff!  See: http://www.xtree.com).

Q30: What is ZTreeWin written in?

A: ZTreeWin is about 70,000 lines of C code. Currently compiled with MS

Visual C++ 6.0, under Windows XP Professional.

Q32: Why do I get a User Account Control (UAC) message in Vista?

A: In order to provide access to actual protected directories and files in Vista

(rather than virtual copies of these directories and files), applications like

ZTreeWin must request access every time they run. ZTreeWin requests the

highest level privilege elevation available to that user. If the highest level is

administrator, Vista requires the user to confirm this elevation with this UAC dialog (even though the user is already logged in with administrator

privileges). The alternative is to disable UAC, which removes this malware

protection entirely.

Q33: Why doesn't ZTreeWin see my mapped network drives under Vista?

A: A feature of Vista's UAC hides mapped drive letters from the elevated

ZTreeWin session. To solve this, you can either add the following registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System EnableLinkedConnections =(dword)1

or, add a startup macro to run a 'NET USE Z: \\server\share’ command.

Q34: Why are some of my directories, such as C:\Temp, not being logged?

A: ZTreeWin uses a configuration file called ZNOLOG.INI to specify a list of

directories to be excluded from full disk, and branch logging. See this file for details on how to configure and/or disable this feature.

Q35: Why can't I access directories such "Documents and Settings" under

Vista?

A: Vista has moved several common directories and replaced them with

'junctions’ that point to the new location (such as "Users" in this case). There is really no reason to access the old locations - they are there primarily for backward-compatibility with older programs. Use Alt-F10 option 2-J to hide junctions from the directory tree entirely, or see ZNOLOG.INI for a method of preventing them being logged.
