I did try that, with no luck.
Maybe there's something strange going on with my computer (XP Pro SP1). I tried following fgagnon's instructions for changing folder actions in this
http://forum.zabkat.com/viewtopic.php?t=1745 thread, but found that I couldn't edit any of the Folder actions (all those options were not selectable). Even when I created a new action, XP wouldn't let me delete it or change it.
I did however, manage to create a new action under the Folder 'File Type' and make it the default. And it works perfectly. Even double clicking the 'My Computer' icon on my desktop opens Xplorer2
But here's the strange part. If I right click on any folder even within Windows Explorer, I now have an 'Explore with X2' option. But it's not there when right clicking on a file. Except......... If I do a search using Powerdesk File Finder, I get an explorer type window with a list of all matching files. And any file or folder in that list has the 'Explore with X2' right click option. Selecting this option then opens a new instance of xplorer2 to that location. EXACTLY WHAT IWAS TRYING TO ACHIEVE
I have no idea why I have that option for files when using File Finder, but not when using Windows Explorer. I'll have to do some more investigating when I get a chance.
I hope all that made sense!
Thanks,
Darren
PS The new action I setup under Folders, when exported from the registry, looks like this:
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Explore_with_X2]
@="Explore with X2"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Explore_with_X2\command]
@=""C:\\Program Files\\xplorer2_lite\\xplorer2.exe" "%1""
Maybe someone who understands the registry (I'm only just starting to dabble) can make sense of it.
Also, I have two entries under File Types. One called 'File Folders' & the other called 'Folders'. They both seem to interact/interfere with each other and it's confusing the hell out of me.
