Making Freecommander default file explorer ?
Hi!
Can anyone help me to find an obvious option for allowing the user to make FreeCommander opening folders instead of Windows explorer?
Looking for this vital command all the day along... I even bought the donor version with hope, but still nothing found.
Thanks a lot!appvalley tutuapp tweakbox

Store this in some file.reg
Edit the paths according to your installation.
All "\" must be doubled !!!
Then double click the reg file to add it into the registry.

Re: Making Freecommander default file explorer ?
I'm a newbie when it comes to this but I'm good at following step by step walk-throughs. Can you provide more detailed steps to do this, for eg., you mentioned editing paths, does this mean the path of where free commander is installed?, when you say store this is some file.reg, you mean to edit in text editor and save it as .reg file? Also about the all "\" being doubled.horst.epp wrote: ↑20.08.2021, 15:41 Store this in some file.reg

I have no problem with other REG files - and yet this one
informs me of error
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
@="open"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\q\FreeCommander\\FreeCommander.exe /t /c \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
@="open"
Any idea why?Cannot import C:\test.reg: The specified file is not a registry script.
You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor.

You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor.
but this maybe cosmetic.
Check the code page and the file content for binary characters, wrong line endings.

I have managed to fix it - but it still does not work for me, i.e. yet another fail and replacing WE with FC [https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1273]
