     239The :hp6.Quick arc find:ehp6. toggle, if checked, causes FM/2 to check
     240only files with extensions that match those configured in ARCHIVER.BB2
     241as potential archives during a drag and drop operation. If you're

     243things up a bit.
     244:p.
     245The :hp6.Folder after extract:ehp6. toggle, if on, causes FM/2 to create
     246a folder to hold objects extracted from an archive via an Archive
     247Container. You'll be given an opportunity to abort the folder creation
     248or to decide where the folder will be located and what it'll be named.
     249:p.
     250You can set a :hp6.Default archiver:ehp6. so that, when you're archiving

     253:p.
     254If the :hp6.Show archiver activity:ehp6. toggle is checked, FM/2 runs
     255archiver windows in the foreground. Normally it runs them in the
     256background, minimized, so you'd have to use the task list to pull them
     257to the foreground if you want to see them.

     259The :hp6.A/Virus:ehp6. field allow you to enter the command line
     260(PATH/ANTIVIRUS&period.EXE parameters) for your antivirus software
     261This must be done to enable virus checking of archives from FM/2.
     262NVCC&period.EXE &percent.p /C is one possible command line option
     263if you are using Norman Antivirus.

     265The :hp6.Ext. Path:ehp6. field, if anything is in it, gives the default
     266directory in which to place extracted files. Otherwise, FM/2 takes a
     267wild, hairy guess about where you want the extracted files to go
     268(although it'll let you override manually). You can enter "*" as the
     269extract path and FM/2 will use the directory in which the archive
     270resides. The :link reftype=hd res=99970.Find:elink. button can be used
