If you are not familiar with the purpose or use of the configuration dialogs, review the main configuration dialogs topic before continuing.

Advanced Options:

Linux-style Selection : Copy selected text automatically to the clipboard when the left mouse button is released.

Minimize on Close : If enabled, clicking on the Close button or pressing Alt-F4 will minimize Take Command instead of closing it.  To close Take Command, select File / Exit.

MouseWheel Support for LIST : If enabled, Take Command will pass the mouse wheel messages to TCC when it detects that TCC is executing its internal LIST command.

Notify Windows Shell on File or Directory Change : Notify the system shell when changing files or directories.

Show File Extensions : If enabled, List View will always show file extensions even if they are disabled in the Windows Shell folder properties.

Show Hidden Files : If enabled, the Folders and List View windows will show hidden files.

Single Click to Open Folders : Single click to open an item in the Folders window. (This will also close any other  expanded items.) If this option is not enabled, Take Command will open folders in the Folders window with a double click and will not close other expanded items. You must restart Take Command after changing this option.

Update Environment on System Change :  If enabled, Take Command will monitor the WM_SETTINGCHANGE message and if the environment is specified, update the environment from the User, Volatile, and System registry entries. The updates are done whenever Take Command displays a prompt (to prevent the environment from changing in the middle of a batch  file).

Win64 File System Redirection : If disabled, overrides the default Win64 behavior of remapping windows\system32 calls to windows\SysWOW64.

Zone ID : Set the NTFS Zone ID security when running executables downloaded from the Internet.  (Note that CMD.EXE never checks for the Zone ID, so setting it may introduce a minor incompatibility.)

Start Folder : The initial directory to display in the Folders / List View windows.

Regular Expression Syntax:

Sets the regular expression syntax.

Descriptions:

Enable Descriptions : Set description display for the List View window.

NTFS Descriptions : If set, Take Command uses the Comments field in the NTFS SummaryInformation stream for each file to hold its description, instead of the DESCRIPT.ION file.  The advantages are that the description will always remain with the  file regardless of what program copies, moves, or renames it. The disadvantage is that you cannot attach a description to directories.

Maximum Length : Set the description length limit. The allowable range is 20 to 511 characters.

Filename : Sets the file name in which to store file descriptions. The default file name is DESCRIPT.ION.
