Update May 2017

A May 2017 Microsft security update for Windows 10 conflicted with a major routine in FileBoss resulting in FileBoss not starting on some Windows 10 systems.

Versions V3.101 and later, fix the problem. You can read more about this at the page
Windows Creators Conflict.

 

Managing External File Viewers

To Add, Change, Edit or Remove External Viewers

Open the External Viewers Setup Panel by:

  • Select Options > Program Options... from the main menu

  • or click the Options button:

  • In the Options dialog select the Viewers Panel.

  • or select Tools | Auto-Viewers On/Off > Setup... from the main menu to display the options page directly

 

If the program field is empty and the Arguments field contains "<PathAndFilename>" FileBoss will attempt to open the file using the default program for that type of files. This can be useful for standard file types such as MP3 and TXT files.

 

The tools will be then be displayed on the main menu and right-click menus when a file they apply to is highlighted.
