NoReread=AB\ Do not reread these drives; \ stands for 'Network Neighborhood', / for file system plugins, and a colon : for virtual folders like the desktop.
NoReread2=AB\ Do not reread these drives when closing and restarting Total Commander. If NoReread2 is missing, the contents of NoReread= will be used, which leads to the same behaviour as in TC versions older than 6.52. Example:
NoReread=ABC\ and NoReread2=AB\  : Don't auto-reread floppies, drive c and the net, but remember directories on C when closing and re-opening Total Commander.

Start the line with "+" to add more types, e.g. PreferOpenTypes=+*.ext1 *.ext2
or leave out the "+" to just the given types, e.g. PreferOpenTypes=*.docx *.xlsx
or add types behind pipe symbol | which should in any case be opened as archives, e.g. PreferOpenTypes=*.docx *.xlsx | *.pptx to open pptx files as archives.

ThumbnailPrealloc=100000 Sets number of bytes to pre-allocate when creating the thumbnails database to avoid fragmentation. The thumbnail database is an OLE compound document similar to a Word .doc file. Without preallocating memory at creation time, such files would become terribly fragmented especially on NTFS disks.

TreeFileLocation__server_share= Sets location of treeinfo file only for drive \\server\share (treefilelocation= MUST be set too).
TreeUpdateLimit=2048 Size (in kBytes), up to which the tree file treeinfo.wc will be updated automatically during file operations like copying or deleting. This update would take a long time for very large trees.
tsclient=\\tsclient Specify name of remote host from which to show drive letters in drive dropdown combobox and drive button bar. Only 1 character shares will be shown. Set to empty string (tsclient=) to disable. Normally used only for XP mode on Windows 7, and terminal server.

0: The full context menu is loaded, as when right clicking (slower, but allows you to use copy extensions)
UseFindForTime=1 When copying, get the file time with FindFirstFile instead of GetFileTime
UseIniInProgramDir=0 This variable will only be read if the wincmd.ini is located in the same dir as the program. It must be put in wincmd.ini directly, RedirectSection has no effect on this variable.
It is the sum of the following values:

0: use Total Commander's own function to delete files (most configuration options)
1: use Explorer's method to delete files
-1 (default): If Cleansweep is running, use Explorer's method to avoid a crash (caused by an incompatibility between Cleansweep and Total Commander's delete method). If Cleansweep is not running, Total Commander uses its own method.
