How to install Avanced Explorer
If the classpath is already used, you can add c:\ae\ae.jar to it, separated by a semi-colon.
the path c:\ae should be replaced by the one you choose to install AE into.
the working directory should be preferably the path of ae.jar.
1)
Unzip the ae.jar archive inside a directory, c:\ae for example.
2)
Create an icon for the javaw.exe program (inside the Java path).
3)
Change the properties. Add ae as parameter to javaw.exe
Example: c:\jre\bin\javaw.exe ae
Set the working path the one where ae.jar is unzipped.
Installing is automatical, you have only to ensure that the current directory is available through the PATH variable in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Note the
dot between the equal and the semicolon. This adds the . dir (the current dir),
to the previous list and prevents A.E. to be slowed down seriously.
You may prefer to move the DLL into the Windows' system directory, providing
that does not erase previous files with same names.
Use
a program as PKzip or or 7-Zip. (Unziping can be done also by AE
itself if a previous version is installed).
Once Advanced
Explorer is installed you have to set it up, for associating extensions
with programs, (specially HTML) and detecting the available drives.
This is achieved by a click on the AutoSetup button at top of the Setup panel
(the last tab).
Associations can be created also with the Association panel in Setup.
Drives units may be added also by typing their name, ex: a:
in the fields on top of each directory windows (followed by a press on the Enter
key). Use the right mouse button to open a menu that allows to register permanently
the path.
Extract the archive, just type java -jar ae.jar to launch it.
