I am using FC XE 2014 build 650.

Is there a way to set it up, so that it is sort of the "default" file browser instead of Windows Explorer ?

For example, in another program, a pic viewer or whatever, I can right click on a directory and select "Open".
It opens the directory int Windows Explorer.

I don't think there is an easy solution for this yet. I'm using FC XE x64 on win7x64 and played with a bunch of registry entries and didn't get a satisfying result... But I'm no expert, so it shouldn't mean this can't be done.
However, I did add an XE shortcut into the SendTo menu to make my life easier.

Hello,

I am using FreeCommander XE 2020 build 8201 32 bit on a Windows 10 Pro system. Is there now a way to set Free Commander to be the default File Browser ?

Thank you .

This is the best way IMHO: [TOOL] Explorer/FileManager Replacement for Windows 10 x64 - FreeCommander Forum
