    How does one find/enable the docking feature (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/commun/screenshots/scrsh_dockingFeature.png) with the Explore tab, Function List tab etc?

      These features usually are docked by default.  If they have been undocked then drag them to the side you want them docked on and they should dock.  Does this not work?  If not have you made a fresh install of the latest version?  Does it still not work?

    Same problem here, no directory or file browser window.  I'm running 5.5.1 on Win7, brand new installation.   Drag them from where?

    1/ Are the corresponding plugins installed? If yes, go to the Plugins menu. You may have to use one of the subcommands in the relevant submenu to display the window. For instance, for FunctionList, you'll get a FunctionLIst submenu and a List entry, click on that.

    2/ If the plugins are installed, and if the windows were displayed undocked as of step 1/, just drag them on any of the 4 sides of the screen. With some luck, you'll see a frame showing at the place they would dock. Release the mouse, you are done.

    3/ If the submenus weren't there, then you need to install the corresponding plugins.

    4/ If the windows show, but won't dock, try again. The vertical sides are imho easier to catch.

    5/ If the windows don't show up or won't dock, then please post the DockingManager section of your config.xml file, it may help.
