Opening a folder from Find list

I am new to xplorer2. If I use Find and then open a folder in the results list - the folder opens in Windows Explorer rather than xplorer2. I had expected the folder to open in xplorer2.

What am I not understanding?

to load a search result into xplorer2 press CTRL+ENTER keys or right click on the item and pick OPEN FILE LOCATION menu command

That begs a question - is there any way to make it default to opening in X² instead of Explorer?

If not, any thoughts on perhaps making this an option for future builds?

it would open in xplorer2 if xplorer2 was the default app for folders

How can I make it the default app?

Nikos, that sounds risky to me.

If I change my mind and want to keep the File Explorer afterwards, are there any drawbacks to reverting.

It replaces File Explorer as the File handler with file manager duties in Windows - not the actual file explorer program itself.

You can always revert if you don't like using Xplorer² as your default handler at any time with no ill effects.
