Add item... Creates a new entry in the directory menu. Asks for a menu title first. A & sign causes the letter behind it to be underlined. Enter a single dash '-' to create a separator line.

Delete Item Deletes the selected menu entry. Choose CANCEL to cancel all changes.

Command: This box contains the command to change the source directory. It looks like this:
cd Drive:\Directory
You can also choose one of Total Commander's internal commands from the dropdown combobox, e.g. cm_OpenDesktop to switch to the Desktop.
Target path: Then the path given in this edit box is set in the target window. This allows you to set both paths (source and target) at the same time. You can either specify only the path, or the command
cd Drive:\TargetDirectory
Hide menu items starting with this character:
When this option is checked, it's possible to hide certain menu items or even entire submenus by putting a user-configurable character at the start of the title. You can choose a character via edit box behind this option (any character except for a dash '-'). The default is a question mark '?'. You can double click on a menu item to add/remove the chosen character to hide/show that menu item.
Cancel Closes the dialog box without saving.
