Is there an email address I can send a screen shot of 
a quirk? It's easier to send an annotated screenshot 
than explain.

Here is an attempt at the explanation of the quirk:

Quirk: Httrack is not able to see system classified 
folders from the main panel directory tree. Example I 
have individual folders on Windows 98 with different 
icons controlled by a 'desktop.ini' named file which 
windows sees as system folders. 

When you open Httrack..on the left directory tree 
Httrack cannot see those folders but if I proceed to 
the second window where you can navigate using 'Base 
Path:' and navigate using it, Httrack is then able to 
see those files.

Thats the quirk...any chance of having Httrack see 
those files through the main directory tree as 'Base 
Path:' does?
Suggestion:

Under the 'Base Path:' drop down UI there is a nice 
empty space for a favorites drop down? For those that 
keep their websites in different paths on their HDD's, 
it would be handy if a favorites list could be kept of 
those sites on the HDD instead of navigating through 
directories when you want to update a site.
