It doesn't rely on windows explorer, its a stand alone piece of software that has similar functionality but dumbed down i.e. add, delete, rename, etc

It reads sub directories from wherever you point it to, the application does not have to sit in the root of the folder to be scanned

if you want to add an internet shortcut, just copy and past whatevers in your browser bar in windows explorer and normally a file is created (just like a bookmark/html file) - whenever this is clicked on it opens your internet browser and goes to the page

have a play, I've emailed a copy through
