This also explain why we can found much more Google links about read-only versions (official freeware) and the read-write one. Probably in one Google link I found free download instead of freeware (as often these links try to cheat you between free download and freeware status). So it looks like that the version I download is not freeware. The copyright year is xxxx-2002, No mention of freeware was found, only some mentions about ERD Commander, 10 seats etc. So I uninstall then re-install it to read carefully the license agreement (several pages) displayed at start of installation. From the online help and any kind of About screen I did not see anything about freeware usage. The fact that it asks not for registration or keycode during install means nothing with regards to its licensing status. I do own an original copy/license for it dating back to 2000 or 2001, and sure I can find, should I want to, the READ/WRITE driver on some sites I won't mention, point is whether it has been releeased as Free/Freeware/Open Source/Public Domain or whatever. That is the part I did not know about, and for which I would like a link as a confirmation, as far as I know the READ ONLY driver is, and has been ALWAYS freeware from sysinternals, whilst the READ/WRITE version has been (till now? ) a Commercial Software from Winternals, that has not been available separately from ERD Commander (or other Winternals tools) in the last few years. NTFS support: this is done with the now free read/write NTFS for Windows 98 from Winternals. If I can find it I wil update this post, but for sure I found it by using Google. Version 1.03ro is read-only, there is another version 2.0 with read-write, without any registration or code asked during setup. Unfortunately I did not write out the download link, but there are many links found with Google.
