My layout does not open as default, regardless of setting

Post by dr_after »

Hi!
I installed Xplorer2, replaced windows explorer, made my layout, set a shortcut to open is as default and it works when I open Xplorer2 with this shortcut. But it does not work in any other case - for example:
- when I download a file and use "open in explorer" icon in Firefox - it opens Xplorer2 in some other layout, not mine
- when I use WIN + E shortcut to open explorer - the same as above - Xplorer2 opens but it does not load my layout.

Any solutions?

the simpler solution is to forget about custom layouts, and make all your changes in the default layout, then it will be available which ever route you choose to open xplorer2. For more information please see here
