You can solve this with shortcut(s) (.lnk files) on the desktop, e.g. as follows (provided that the directory can be accessed):
(The paths below may need to be adjusted!)
C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE /N /L=D:\Data
C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE /N /L="C:\totalcmd\Tools\Clear History TC\" (If there are spaces in the path, use quotation marks!)
C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE /N /L=D:\Data /R=I:\Data /P=L
After clicking on a shortcut on the desktop (or on the pinned icon of Total Commander in the taskbar),
the directory D:\Data should be opened in the left window and
the directory I:\Data in the right window in Total Commander.
Create a shortcut (.lnk file) on the desktop, e.g.
C:\Users\<user>\Desktop\TOTALCMD64.EXE C-totalcmd.lnk
Press the Windows logo key + D > right-click on the desktop > New > Shortcut > Type the location of the item:, e.g.
C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE > click on button "Next" to continue > type a name for this shortcut:,
e.g. TOTALCMD64.EXE C-totalcmd > click on the “Finish” button --> the link file (.lnk) has been created on the desktop >
right-click on the link and then on “Properties” > add the following parameters to the field "Target" and "Comment",
as shown below:
Target:
C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE /N /L=D:\Data /R=I:\Data /P=L
Start in:
C:\totalcmd
Comment:
C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE /N /L=D:\Data /R=I:\Data /P=L
(The comment is then displayed in the tooltip for the .lnk file on the desktop).
> then click on the “Apply” and “OK” buttons.
Start Total Commander by double-clicking on the shortcut “TOTALCMD64.EXE C-totalcmd.lnk” on the desktop.
The directory D:\Data is displayed in the left-hand *active* TC window and
the directory I:\Data is displayed in the right-hand *inactive* TC window.
