Why won't Manage Work?

If you right click on Computer in the LH Pane or in the address bar of XYplorer, then select "Manage" you get (well I get) "The Directory Name is invalid"
Does anyone else get this, is there a work around as it seems daft to keep opening WIndows File Explorer whenever you need to check drive letters/USB devices etc
PC(s) are Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit, all with at least 3GB RAM
Apart from that it's a great program, and I think the ability to save search results is a wonderful feature

Hi and welcome!
The following is just an additional information for Don (since I do not have Win7 at hand):
The reported functionality works as expected under Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3), 32-bit (v5.1), LocaleID: 3079.

It also works here (German locale 1031) under XPSP3/32 and Win7/64. BTW the latter only shows the menu item when I'm in Admin mode.
Cannot explain why it would not work, but vaguely remember that somebody had the same problem years ago...

OT, but thank you for pointing that out: I remember when it was reported to be a problem in the 64-bit version of Windows 7, but I'd missed that lack of administrative permissions was the cause, and that running XYplorer elevated, does enable Manage.

Please search for the file CompMgmtLauncher.exe. Where is it?

Thanks, hopefully next version works better.
BTW, googling for Manage CompMgmtLauncher.exe shows that many Explorer users also have problems with this item -- it's not just within XY.
