directory tree displays the available directories on your system. You can
navigate and select the directories where you want to view images. When you
select and enter a directory containing valid bitmaps, the Browser displays
their thumbnails in the Thumbnail pane to the right. Right-clicking in the
directory tree pane displays a menu allowing you to change directories, delete
directories, and add a directory to your Favorites list.
TIP To refresh the contents of the directory tree, press Shift+F5.

Thumbnail Pane Displays valid bitmaps and geometry files of a selected
directory as thumbnails in the right pane.
Thumbnail bitmaps for MAXScript files (.ms, .mcr, and .mse), dropScript files
(.ds), and zipped script files (.mzp) display in the Thumbnail pane. By
right-clicking the thumbnail, you can view the file, look at its properties, run
the script, or open it in the Web Pane. By double-clicking the thumbnails for
.ms, .mcr, and .ds files, you can open them in the MAXScript editor window.
Double-clicking .mzp files will open them in the associated zip utility.
Explorer Pane Displays valid bitmaps and geometry files of a selected
directory as file name icons in the right pane. This is similar to how Windows
displays file name icons in the Explorer.
Web Pane If there's a file named maxindex.htm in the selected directory,
the program displays it as a Web page in the right pane. You can use the .htm
file to display selected bitmaps as a Web page. Also if you enter a URL in the
address bar, the program displays the page in this pane.
