The XFolder WPS class enables you to freely add new items to the context menu of all folders on your system.

Here's a screenshot for the preset XFolder configuration (as defined by the install script):

(Obviously, this screenshot was taken on a German OS/2 version, but this shouldn't make any difference.)

You will see the same new popup items on all folders on your system. What happens now if you press one of the items in the submenu is that XFolder performs the selected action on just the folder that the context menu was opened for.

The default options installed by installation script are:

- The "Command lines" submenu contains four items for OS/2 and DOS command lines, in a window and in fullscreen, respectively. If you select any of these, a command session will be started with the directory of the folder already changed to. This way you don't have to "cd" your way through a whole directory tree in order to perform command line actions on a certain folder.
- The "Create another" submenu contains items for quickly creating certain objects in the selected folder, without having to open the Templates folder every time. Presently, you can create folders and (empty) program objects this way.

  See "Creating objects with XFolder" for more.

- The "Quick Settings" submenu offers a few handy settings for folders with a single mouse click, instead of having to go into the settings notebook and click through several pages. Here you will find "Always sort this folder" and items for changing the icon sizes and such.
- The "XFolder" submenu contains items for opening this online help and opening the XFolder Configuration Folder, which is described on a separate page.
- The "Netscape (DDE)" item will make Netscape display the directory of the respective current folder. (This item was only installed if Netscape was found on your PATH.) For this, XFolder uses its "Netscape DDE Interface" (NETSCDDE.EXE), which is included with the XFolder package and will check if Netscape is already running; if so, the running instance will be used for displaying the folder instead of always starting a new copy of Netscape. (See "Related files" for more.)
- The "Treesize" item (which is new with XFolder V0.81) will display a new window showing you the subdirectory tree of the current folder with the disk usage for each subdirectory. For this, XFolder uses the TREESIZE.EXE program, which is also included with the XFolder package. (See "Related files" for more.)

XFolder lets you freely modify these context menu items. See "Configuring context menus" for details.
