XP SP2 bug - Unset working folder

Post by jclausius » Wed Aug 11, 2004 9:39 am

I've encountered my first Vault 2.0.x bug with Windows XP SP2. Apparently, SP2 changes the "browse for folder" dialog to operate like Windows 2003, instead of Windows 2000. This makes it impossible to "Unset" a working folder.

There is a work around discovered by DarrenS. See Choose Network Neighborhood to Unset Working Folder

One final note - This problem will be addressed in Vault 3.0** with a new and improved Set Working Folder dialog.

** - this post was edited to account for the change from Vault 2.1 to Vault 3.0 moniker.

[salivating]Hmmm... will this new dialog have a checkbox to recursively clear working folders?!?!?[/salivating]

LOL! That's great to hear! If there's one thing that frequently annoys me it's traversing every directory by hand to unset working folders!
