REG to use FreeCommander in place of Explorer doesn't Work

#1 Post by Galton » 21.10.2012, 05:07

This is the REG file I run:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
@="FreeCommander"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\FreeCommander]
@="FreeCommander"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\FreeCommander\command]
@="\"C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander\FreeCommander.exe" /C /L="%1"

When I double click on a shortcut to a folder I get this:


[Window Title]
E:\Installed Programs

[Content]
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

[OK]

What am I doing wrong?

Look at viewtopic.php?t=2387#p7112

There are double backslashes "\\" in the path!

----------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
@="FreeCommander"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\FreeCommander]
@="FreeCommander"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\FreeCommander\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\FreeCommander\\FreeCommander.exe\" /C /L=\"%1\""
