How to force uTorrent into using FreeCoommander?

I do not use the Explorer at all in Windows 7. So how do I tell uTorrent to stop opening torrent folders in Windows Explorer? I want to be able to double click a torrent from a list in uTorrent and have it opened in FreeCommnder, preferably in a whole new tab on the inactive side



The only option concerning this topic that I found in uTtorrent was the choice for double click behavior located in

Options > Preferences > UI Settings located > Actions for double click

So I guess that leaves me only with extensive work in the registry, that I will mos likely fail at? Or is there some quick / easy method to override in Windows 7 its Explorer with third party file handlers?

In FreeCommander XE 2016 release 729 donor implemented: 'Settings->Shell Menu' - options for adding "Open with Freecommander" item to shell context menu

Thank you for that info

Unfortunately the system's shell is a completely different thing than the righ click menu in uTorrent

I've posted the same question on the forum of uTorrent, but I haven't got a single answer yet

I have tried this approach: http://www.forum.freecommander.com/view ... =30#p21381

But such registry entry to my Windows 7 x64, crated only chaos: sometimes uTorrents spits error saying "application not found", sometimes folder is opened via Windows Explorer [sometimes with dozens of second of delay], sometimes a drive is opened in FreeCommander
