Updated to Microsoft 2004 controls including the ms winsock control which had a socket closing before packet received bug. Fixed a forward/back button problem with the desktop folder. Re-wrote the win9x reboot/shutdown code to use a simpler method. When you go up a folder that folder is now highlighted, which makes browsing without the tree on a dream :o). This will not effect keyboard strokes badly because the first item still has the focus rectangle. Now has multiple nameable/swapable 'home' profiles... Thanks to Bengt... great idea dude and thanks! Heaps of the last two months additions have been his ideas. Added new home menu items to tab right click menu. Update some incorrect/outdated help (e.g. the help sometimes said Shift instead of Ctrl+{ and Ctrl+} and Ctrl+NumPlus) Made the ftp packet size 1024 instead of 8192 (seems to be faster on slow connections.) Removed the 45 day splash screen popup screen and add a register button to the toolbar. Added some speed improvement to folder changing. Improved cd icon changes slightly and they now happen in the tabs as well. Ran FileAnt through Numega SmartCheck again (found and fixed one deep harmless NT api security bug).

Fixed: Pie Chart did not work at all if the countries number format is not standard (i.e. 1'234'9.0) Please tell me if there are any other language related bugs.
