Still it does this annoying thing...

But I found thta if I click the Up arrow (4th button on the top bar) then it
moves ficus to the directories so I can change directory properly without much
searcing.

Another really bad Win11 thing is that the QuickLaunch Toolbar support has been
removed in Windows11.
I had about 10 of my mostly used applications on tghat bar so I could very
easily start any of them. Now gone.

Action:
So I have started a Lazarus project to create a replacement that will work in
much the same way by having a "toolbar" ribbon window containgng the shortcut
icons of the applications I use. When clicked the selected application starts in
a new instance (Unlike what pinning app aicons to the Windows bottom bar does).

It cannot be integrated in the Windows bottom bar, but otherwise it will look
about the same. Configuration via an ini file is not optimal but what I can do.
ChatGPT is a great help here...
