The Advanced preferences page is accessed by selecting Options, followed by Preferences and finally Folders from the main menu bar. Then click on the Advanced tab at the top of the preferences dialog.
This page lets you configure miscellaneous folder settings. For advanced users only.
Hidden files
By default Magellan Explorer will display all files, regardless of attribute. If you want to protect your system and hidden files you can check the options and any files with these attributes won't appear in the folder window at all.
Furthermore you can configure other files and folders that should not be shown. This is done by entering the filename or folder name and clicking the + button to add it to the list.
Miscellaneous options
You can configure Magellan Explorer to automatically clear the Read-Only attribute when copying files from removable media. This is useful when copying files from e.g CD-ROMs or DVD-ROMs where all files are marked as read only due to the nature of the media being read only.
You can also chose whether to let Magellan Explorer automatically display suitable folders using the shell view (same as Windows Explorer) or not. These folders include the desktop, the fonts folder etc, The default is Enabled.
The last option lets you specify whether or not to attempt loading of icons from within executables etc. located on a network drive when displaying folder contents. If experience slow folder loading on network drives then check this option.
