I read in a post in this forum how to replace windows explorer with xplorer2 lite. I hacked the registry so everytime i doubleclick or -right clik and open-
the folder opens with xplorer2 lite. But my prob is that it opens the previously opened folder and not the one i try to open. For example my previous opened folder was E:\
When i close xplorer2 lite and right click to ''documents and settings'' folder it doesn't open the ''documents and settings'' folder but E:\
Is there any way to hack this one too?
If there a way to do it i will make my boss the happiest boss ever :lol:
Have a look at the command you gave for each of the verbs. x2 can accept input arguments, you may have told x2 to go to the E:\ drive as one of the arguments.
eg
"C:\{path}\xplorer2_UC.exe" "C:\Temp" would open the left/top pane into C:\temp on start-up
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
in the right pane of this key the (Default) data value is set to 'open' or 'explore' by default.
Simply add a key (right click HKCR\Folder\shell, New>Key called 'xplorer2', add to that key a new key called command and give it a default action of "F:\ull\Path\To\xplorer2.exe" /1 /T "%1" (while including all the quotes and modifying the 'FullPathTo' with the full path to your installation of x2)
After this, change the (Default) data value in HKCR\Folder\shell to 'xplorer2'.
i made thosesteps and then renamed the folder open--->explorer and the folder xplorer2--->open and when i open a folder opens with xplorer2 lite.
But opens all the time the folder e:\. I guess it keeps somewhere cached iformations and loads from there.Is there anyway to find out where it keeps infos???
I have unchecked the option ''save program state on exit''
do you have the "%1" bit in the command line, with quotation marks? If you install a recent version you'll get automatically a verb setup for you (open_x2) which then you only have to make default without any further registry manipulation
HI again. With left klik i have the option open_x2 but the thing i 'm trying to tell you is that i want to klik open not open_x2 (make xplorer2 lite my default explorer) . I managed to do it but when i open any folder it open me the folder e:\ (I use the ''run '' from the start menu and opens the xplorer2:P)but always opens the same folder:x .ANY IDEAS ?
Also i want to know if xplorer2 lite suports command line for example i use run(from start menu) and i type explorer.exe c:\windows and opens with microsoft explorer the directory c:\windows. I tried to do the same thing with xplorer2 lite (type c:\Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2_lite\xplorer2.exe c:\ )and it doesnt work. I tried several switches (/ \ )but nothing.
Any suggestions???????
:lol:
