35 pane</A>, and the <A HREF="2_7_status_bar.html">status bar</A>. The
36 status bar is always at the bottom of the window. The three remaining
37 areas, or panes, can be arranged and sized by the user.</P>
38 <P><U>Selecting the location of each pane</U></P>
39 <P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">The arrangement of the folder, file,
40 and image pane is selected on the <A HREF="10_3_window.html">Windows
41 tab</A> of the Options window. There are four choices for the layout,
42 the difference is that each has the larger pane in a different
43 location: right, bottom, left, and top.</P>
44 <P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in">The order in which the panes are
45 filled is determined by the three row list located below the layout
46 selection. The three numbered rows correspond to the three numbered
47 regions of the selected layout, to change the order of the list drag
48 a row to the desired location within the list. To drag a row move the
49 mouse over the selected row, press and hold the primary mouse button,
50 then drag the row to the desired location and release the button.</P>

58 divider to the desired location and release the button.</P>

62 list. The list can be set to display the sub folders of the active
63 folder or a tree that starts with the root folder and contains all
