  • Run on Windows startup: Will cause SysPad to launch during Windows startup.
  • Default Double-click window: Allows to change the default window that happens when double-clicking the Notification Area.

The Export/Import feature of SysPad data has been indefinitely disabled as some new programming changes have caused the old method (programatically) to not be viable.  A new method is being searched for, but is not guaranteed.


Show TrayPad on program launch: Shows the TrayPad as soon as SysPad is launched. Display selected Pad text in Titlebar: Will display the tab text in the Titlebar ("TrayPad - Pad1"). Remove "TrayPad" from TitleBar: Will display the tab text in the Titlebar with "TrayPad" ("Pad1").


  • Display UNC Paths: Displays UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) path names on the FolderPad.
  • Show system toolstrip buttons: Shows the Toolstrip buttons on FolderPad.
  • Location of System toolstrip: Chooses placement of toolstrip (Left|Top|Bottom).

Tags can be added or deleted from this screen. (Note that when adding a folder to FolderPad, if a Tag is typed in that isn't already in the list, it willa sk if you want to add it.)

NOTE: Learn more about UNC here: WikiPedia.


This is where you can customize the toolstrip on the FolderPad.
You can choose which buttons will appear and sort them in the order you would prefer.

Currently, SysPad only supports Altap Salamander as a custom File Explorer.

There are many popular Windows Explorer replacements, but out of the 20 that were reviewed, only 6 were found to support command line launching, which is what makes integrating them with SysPad necessary.
Of the six that were found, Altap was decided to be the one implemented for now.

It is possible, that in the future, support for other File Explorers may be added voluntarily, or by request.

The decision to support only Altap Salamander out of the six products was to reduce variables needed for such a task and also that quality software is preferred and that Altap Salamander was the best quality product of the six reviewed.

Altap Salamander will replace Windows Explorer when launching folders from FolderPad.

Enabling the SHIFT feature, however, will allow the user to use Windows Explorer and Altap Salamander interchangeably.

Windows Epxlorer will launch by default, but when holding [Shift] down while double-clicking, pressing [Enter] or using the context menu option will launch Altap Salamader instead.

A link has been provided to download Altap Salamander from their website.

NOTE: Altap Salamander is NOT a free program. A trial may be used for 30 days, but a license must be purchased to continue use.
