I'm having a problem with Thunderbird Mail crashing when I browse for files.

How do i turn off Replacement mode & restore Windows Explorer?
3.2.0.1 [Unicode] x64 3/15/2016

To disable explorer integration completely, use Tools -> Options -> Advanced (Tab) -> Undo Explorer Replacement (it's the large button at the bottom).

tools > options > advanced (tab) - Undo Explorer Replacement?

there may be some registry hacks as well.

Thanks
I found it.
Off to give it a spin.

Limited testing the crashing stopped but no way to tell if the Browse for file dialog is Windows or Xplorer.
I'll give it a few days of testing as the crash was intermittent.

Looking at Task manager after restarting the computer I still see xplorer running, see attached.

PS
I started xplorer & in Advanced options the Undo Explorer Replacement is dimmed out so I guess it is not taking control.

Use File > Exit to properly exit x2 - and test if need be.

When x2 stays resident after 'quitting' it usually means you're using Explorer Replacement Mode.

if you want to fully undo the explorer replacement mode uninstall/reinstall xplorer2
in your case xplorer2 runs automatically at startup as a leftover of the replacement process, but it isn't replacing your windows explorer anymore. To confirm, click on a folder and see which programs opens
