This will not replace but add it correctly in Windows 7,
because the ]Original Explorer Shell

MUST be maintained[/color]

for Control Panel Screens to display properly.

However since it MUST default to the Explorer Shell,

a right click will be required

to view in FreeCommander XE.

(If "FileCommander XE" is in BOLD letters then that is the default,
so the Control Panels WILL NOT WORK

Here is the correct reg file for Windows 7, using the new XE version
opening only single or in left pane:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
REGEDIT5


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
@=""

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

   Open a new file in an editor and copy and paste the following:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\FreeCommander XE\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\FreeCommander XE\\FreeCommander.exe\" /C /L=\"%1\""

Change the path in the last line to your fc-install-directory.

If you want the folder to be opened in the right pane, then change /L to /R.

Then save it as an "MS ini" file to FCXE-Add.reg.

To change it back to default; copy the following:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
REGEDIT5


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
@=""

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\FreeCommander XE]

Then save it as an "MS ini" file to FCXE-Remove.reg.
