Thanks for lite version

Just a big thank you to everyone involved in the development of this application. All I ever wanted was a 1-tree/2-list file manager (*): fast, simple, configurable, no crashes. Don't worry about all the moaners who want this search engine, that plugin, and so on. Keep it simple, keep it successful! I hope you can continue to keep it free. If I ever need more (ie, scraps) I'll be happy to pay.

On the subject of XP's lousy search function - users can use PowerDesk's find.exe (see http://www.shellfront.org/utils/find.zip). PowerDesk is 2-tree/2-list so not quite the app I require.

(*) 1 tree to browse hierarchy, 2 list panes for copying, moving, etc

Awesome timtim!!
Now, is there a way to get it to run in place of Windows search?
For that matter, is there a way to get a program such as find.exe to open folders with xplorer2 rather than Windows Explorer?
Thanks,
Darren
Okay I should have read more before posting. I can now get xplorer2 to run find.exe instead of the Windows Search.

However I'm still having difficulty getting Find to open xplorer2 instead of Explorer when I select a file or folder. If I select a file, it runs the default program. So double clicking a text file will open Metapad. Double clicking a folder still opens Windows Explorer. I'm trying to duplicate the find function in 2xExplorer, so that when I click on a file or folder xplorer2 will open to that position. Is this possible?
From what I've read in the registry.txt file this should be possible? I created the appropriate registry entry and then exported it. It looks like this:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program files\\xplorer2_lite\\xplorer2.exe\" /1 \"%1\""

I'm sure the path is right, so am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Cripes! It's been a long time since I last looked in here, hasn't it?

Probably a postive reflection on how little in the way of problems I've had
with xplorer2 in the past 10 months (ie, none).

OK, make sure that x2open is the defualt behaviour...

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shell]
@="x2open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shell\x2open\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program files\\xplorer2_lite\\xplorer2.exe\" /1 \"%1\""
