A separate list of Sub-folders of the current folder can also be displayed and a selection made.
A Table Entry can be Run by a "Double-Click" on an entry, or selecting entry and pressing "Enter".
A home directory path is provided, and a menu of alternative paths can also be shown, where a path is passed using shortcuts.

A filter for file selection based on extension is also provided, and two sort modes are available.
 
Shortcuts to Tbl_Select.exe can also be created which pass a path and selected file-extensions if filtering is required. The files and folders in that path will be listed.

Usage
Installation
To install, download Tbl_Select.zip and unzip to create a new directory, and create shortcuts.
A path and Tbl_Select parameters can be passed in the properties box of that shortcut.

When Tbl_select is first run from the new program directory, the program will create new
shortcuts within the "MAIN" and "TOTAL" program sub-directories.

All programs compiled in AutoHotkey (vs. 1.0.48.3) and .ahk source files are included with program for
modification purposes. If re-compiled with later AutoHotkey version, the program may fail to operate correctly.


Using the Application
A detailed Help file is included.

Uninstallation
Delete program directory

Tips
Persevere!

Known Issues
Should not rename Program files in the Program directory

I have just written 2 programs to address following problem:
FileDate_Order (& WinFileSequ) facilitates the ordering of icons in desktop folders on Windows 7/ (and Vista) when the window is set to order by Modification Time (descending).

Windows 7/ does not allow normal re-positioning of icons in a desktop Window, by simply dragging icons from one position to another, - A feature available in every previous version of Windows!.
Since it is MUCH easier to locate icons quickly within large desktop folders, if they are ordered by function and personal preference, I find this utility (containing 2 programs) is extremely useful.

The program can automatically SEQUENCE the Date/Time stamp for each file (icon) in a Window.
The program facilitates icon placement (i.e. moving icons), also offers substitution of link files for sub-directories, and can insert "Space" links for blank positions.

The program can also create "LOG" files (recording files & modification date/times) for each Window to allow fast export. Importing from LOG file will amend file-dates for all icons and reset icon order.

Last update (Drag&Drop to Viewer now implemented) completed 28/09/14
If anyone out there can suggest improvements to function of ahk program, it would be very welcome!

Modified  on 12/01/15: Both programs should cope with screen resolutions: (Aspect ratio 3 X 4)
1024 X 768, 1152 X 864, 1280 X 1024, with normal dpi (96 dots per inch) or
increased type size: 125% & 150%.

Also available on that site is CLIPSTAC program, much improved and more powerful than original modified Clipstep program. It now combines 2 Clipboard extension Apps, which work well together.
This one works well (so far). It now Auto-configures itself, and includes detailed help file ( & Rt-click hints on buttons etc). Any thoughts would be welcome.
It can also be downloaded from: http://twm.dcmembers.com

I have been developing a program to backup complete XP / 98 windows systems
to a large dedicated partition for zip backups.
Now that I have installed Vista (multiboot system) in a partition, I find it impossible to zip/delete & unzip the vista "Documents and Settings" & "Users" directories from within the XP C: drive.

Can anyone suggest a way to unlock these directories from within XP, or suggest a program that has got round the problem??
