Hi,
I often use 2x from my IDE to browse to specific folder. I have created a command shortcut in my IDE with following command :
C:\2x\2xExplorer.exe <selected_folder>
It works fine but after a while (when I often start this command) I have a dozen of 2x windows and my task bar is full. My question is :
how can I allow to run only one instance of 2x ? Is it possible ? Is there a command line argument or registry key for this purpose ?
Thanks in advance
Valeri

this isn't possible with 2x
the new xplorer2 runs in single instance mode, albeit with multiple windows

I can't beleive this is a problem.If you want to mess around with dos commands don't blame 2xExplorer.
Just put an icon on your desktop and dbl clk and you'll have
" one instance"
Why are you trying to make 2 into 1.Just use the 2x icon.
I can't beleive i read this.

Apparently certain ppl on this forum didn't understand the requirements specified by the original poster.
This feature would be highly useful for me as well. Does anyone know if a command line switch has been added that can accomplish this?
Thanks!
