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.
The current download, V3.101, fixes the problem.
You can read more about this at the page
Windows Creators Conflict.
Resetting FileBoss Options
Startup Options
You can start FileBoss and reset all its options or just ignoring the general settings, the layout of the menus, toolbars and docking windows and/or the tabs from the previous session.
To start FileBoss resetting options and settings
- Hold down the Ctrl key
- Click on the FileBoss icon
- Release the Ctrl key when the Startup Options dialog appears
- Set the options you want
- Click OK to start FileBoss
Selecting any option other than Normally

- Hold down the Ctrl key
- Exit FileBoss in the normal manner
- In the popup dialog select how you want to exit FileBoss.
- Click OK to exit FileBoss or Cancel to return to FileBoss without exiting
