explorer replacement question on 2.5

Post by JonBoy »

Is it possible when typing a path in the run window, that x2 opens the location in the instance already running (instead of creating a new instance of x2)? Just wanted to know if that was possible.. Thanks.

Roger Nikos. Opens in a sep window now.

When using this method, I get an error "There was a problem sending the command to the program".

I figured out what I did wrong. I had installed ultimate x64 instead of pro x64. Upon installing the correct version on my box for the reg key, the "There was a problem sending the command to the program." errors stopped. The same type of error was displayed when attempting to open items in the control panel...... user error with wrong install.
