I have just updated from 9.5 to 9.6 which took me to the download page for the free version and the about page does not show as a donation version. I reinstalled 9.0 and it did the…

Uhm, you just select and delete them? Maybe I don't understand the problem. PS: You can upload images as an attachment (and even place them inline).

Thank you but the rights are well defined for the user. The rights and the mapping are the same way as on my posts in windows 7. Can be a problem of law on windows 10?

On FileHippo you can go back to FreeFileSync 6.14! [URL] On UpToDown you can find FFS versions from 3.12 to 6.15! [URL]
