Running X2

bob_slayer · Post by **bob_slayer** » 2005 Mar 14, 17:30

Hi,
I've set up xplorer lite and really like it. I've also set it up to run when I click on a folder. Is there any way to make it open by default when I use start>run?

are you trying to replace the default Start|Run box with x2?
that's not possible
but if you want x2 to be the default app for your folders, check the beginning of registry.txt in the installation folder

I followed the instructions in registry.txt and if I double-click on my-computer or any folder it opens with xplorer2, but if i go start>run and type c:\, press enter, it still opens with explorer

I didn't know about that trick for opening Explorer! On my PC (w2k) it DOES open xplorer2 (1.2.0.0 pro) instead of Explorer. I don't have the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command] set up per registry.txt. Instead I have the following setup:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
@="xplorer2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\xplorer2]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\xplorer2\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\zabkat\\xplorer2\\xplorer2_UC.exe\" \"%1\""

With the above entries, double clicking a folder on the desktop or in a scrap window opens the folder in X2.

fixed completely by accident

I went start>run c:\program files

and xplorer2 opened

so i went
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command] and voila
