When I am editing multiple files in V6.0, the path
name that is displayed in the title bar is shorted
with ellipses C:/.../xyz/abc.c
and the problem I have is, with multiple projects,
the distinguishing part of the path name is replaced
by those ellipses.

Is there any way to get more of the path name other
than popping up the properties window?

Thanks,

Rufus

I don't remember if this works in V6, but in 7.1 if you hover over the name
(using tabs) it shows a tooltip with the whole path. You might want to
investigate using WndTabs too if you're going to be using V6 for a while.

Thanks Tom, I'll give that a try.

It's funny but I downloaded WndTabs last December, but had
never installed it.

I'll check for the latest version and see how that works out..

Not exactly what I need, but it's a nice add-in.
