Thanks, now it works fine :) I tried to write something like this (under .NET or WSH) after using Linux, but failed with Explorer updating like in your previous version. How about hotkey option for show/hide it on tray and running parameters for direct switching?

Really useful tool, I just think it should be coupled in the Windows Explorer instead of being a standalone application.
