How to set Configuration for Bucket Commander?

If Bucket Commander configuration file does not exist, it will show the message : Configuration file ' \config\BucketCommander.xml' does not exist. You can use 'Edit Commander Config File' option from Tools in Bucket Explorer to set commander config . If you are using only Bucket Commander then you need to edit BucketCommander.xml manually.
