Description:
-----------------------

 DMEXBar is an extention of the explorer toolbar.

 DMEX appears in the toolbar area of the windows
 explorer showing some new buttons to extend 
 the explorer by a wide range of new features like:

 - Open two explorer windows being aligned side by side.

 - Fast copying and moving of files between two aligned
   explorer windows by shortcuts. 

 - Tile all open explorer windows on the screen

 - Rename, change date or change attributes
   of multiple selected files at once with wildcards.

 - Creating Hot Paths, which are like the Favourites
   in the Internet Explorer, for simple and fast change
   to these directories

 - Open DOS shell windows or run any other user-specified programs
   using the current directory or selected files as parameters

 - Create new subdirectories - only one mouseclick away

 - Select and deselect files with wildcards

 - Expand and collapse partial tree branches
   in the tree view of the explorer

 - Substitute directories as drives (NT compatible OS only)

 - Copy path and filename information of the selected files
   to the clipboard

 - Calculate the total size or used disk space of directories
   including all subdirectories

 -  and some more


 The ones who now the explorer menu extension DMEXMenu
 will already know most of these functions, since DMEXBar
 is the successor of DMEXMenu.

Installation:
-----------------------

Note: You must have administrator privilige on NT/XP
       machines. Trying to install on NT/XP without
       administrator privilige will result in an error
       message and an uncompleted installation.

       By installing DMEXBar you accept the disclamer, below.

       To install DMEXBar:

 -> 1.)  Run the self extracting archive 'dmexbar.exe'.
         You have to specify a destination directory.
         A new subdirectory named 'dmexbar' will be created
         in the destination directory. The default destination
         directory is your Programs directory. All newly
         created files will be located in the newly created
         subdirectory.

    2.)  After the extraction process has finished the dmexbar
         helpfile will be opened. The installation process can be
         started from within this help file.

    3.)  Follow the link to the installation page in the help file.
         And click on the installation link, there.
         You may also use the batch file 'zdo.bat' from the
         DMEXBar directory.

    4.)  After finishing the installation open an explorer window.
         In case that DMEXBar is not visible by default in the
         explorer toolbar area after installation than to show
         DMEXBar do a right mouse button click in the explorer toolbar
         area or choose 'Toolbar' from the 'View' menu.
         A popup menu is shown with a list of all available toolbars.
         There you should see a new menu item named "Dmex Toolbar".
         Check this entry.
         If DMEXBar is not visible in the list of available toolbars, than
         reboot windows.


More information about DMEXBar can be found in the help file dmexbar.hlp.
