Well, Mijenix's-->Ontrack's-->Kroll's-->now V-com's/Avanquest's "PowerDesk" is the best File Mgr/Windows "Explorer" substitute that I've ever seen or used, bar none.

Anyway, if the free version is installed, and then the directory burned to a CD (haven't tried it yet on a memory stick, but expect results'd be similar), it's pretty darn usable as it is.
However, a fraction of the time, it will complain about not having some library file it needs, and it will then go on to work once you click "OK". - but it will then bring up the same message every time you change directories with it. Quite annoying.
So, what are the possibilities, folks, of y'all coming up with a version of V-Com's "Power Desk 6" (free version ,of course) that's fully portable (all libraries included in the app's directory, and is able to recognize and use them w/o user interaction)?...
Looking fwd to your responses...
