Hi,
I ran the script to make Free Commander my default file manager but now I have an issue that I need resolved. When I click on another folder to open from a shortcut outside of the currently opened window it replaces it rather than opening up a new window. I'm not a big fan of the dual panel thing so this is how I like to do it. Even if I got used to the dual panel thing rather than opening up a new TAB is just replaces what ever side of the dual panels I have selected at the time.
How do I fix this so shortcuts to other folders are opened in their own windows?
Thanks!
Richard
Single panel display is replacing each window I open.
Re: Single panel display is replacing each window I open.
From the help Command line parameters:
/N Starts FC in any case as a new instance.
/T Opens the transfered paths in a new tab.
So the Registry file look for example:
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:\\Tools\\FreeCommander\\FreeCommander.exe /T /C \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
@="open"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]
@="c:\\Tools\\FreeCommander\\FreeCommander.exe /T /C \"%1\""

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Some real life crap going on right now with my business...
Anyways, can I just make a .reg script with the info you posted and if so how to do set that up?
Thank you!
