slider bar on remote browser

version 2.0.996.

Downloaded/installed latest version. Have local browser on left, remote(s) on right. When I open smartftp, I get a 'slider' bar (a horizontal 'elevator') that overlays the folder dropdown box. If I close the remote browser and re-open, it goes away, but when I close smartftp and reopen it is back again.

If I right-click on the slider bar, I get the following options: scroll here, left edge, right edge, page left, page right, scroll left, scroll right.

How can I get rid of it? Is it a bug or user error???

Thanks in advance.

I don't know what you mean. Please post a screenshot with a detailed description. Also provide the System Information from the Help->About menu.

I circled it with a red box...

any ideas?

Thanks.

Close SmartFTP and then delete the following registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SmartFTP\Client 2.0\Settings\Interface\Remote Browser
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SmartFTP\Client 2.0\DockingPaneLayouts
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SmartFTP\Client 2.0\CommandBars

Thanks for the quick reply... can you let me know what caused this problem? Did I inadvertently do something to cause it or was it just a bug?

Thanks in advance.

I really dont know what caused the problem. I doubt its a user error in this case.

Mat,

I deleted the three registry keys you mentioned, and after doing so I get the following upon the reopen of SmartFTP:

Thanks again for your help.

Hello ..

Try to rename the registry key from:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SmartFTP\Client 2.0\

to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SmartFTP\Client 2.0 - Backup\

Reinstallation usually doesn't fix such problems.
