Is it possible to configure V to exit to the current directory when started from a DOS prompt?

No. There is no way of doing this.

The best you can do is to open up another DOS prompt in the current directory by pressing Alt+C

the supported way assume you know what the share name are

If you don't know the name you should be able to expand the Network branch of the Explorer tree to locate it.

window's explorer lets me type in the path box a network share name, ie \\foobar You have always been able to use a network path in V. V15 added support for password prompting if authentication is required. Note that you must enter a complete network path - not just a computer name. For example, yo...

While working in the new tab, I click on Favorites, then click on c:\data. V immediately goes to the 1st instance of c:\data instead of opening c:\data in the new tab. This is a feature - not a bug! I'm not sure why I did this. Either someone requested it or I thought it was a good idea at the time...

Closed all the tabs except one, right-clicked on the tab, and tried to re-load the set. The existing tab dissapears, and only a empty tab toolbar is left. Can you please send the Tab Set file to v at fileviewer.com (it will be named something like "w - ut.vtabs"). The Tab set files are st...

if it exists it will try to display shared info and it might prompt for a userid/password to that system

I hope to do this in the next release (V15) which will be available by the end of the year.

I will send you a beta version to try when it is available.
