Problem: folders are opened in x2 but not those I need

Post by Nikita »

Hi folks,

I have configured everything in such a way that practically all folders I click are opened not in WE but in x2 (except some applications). That's OK and nice. The problem is that though folders are opened in x2 they are not the folders I need. For example I click My Music or Program Files but instead of them My Computer is opened and then I have to browse to the folder I need. It's extremely annoying.

I feel that something is configured in a wrong way. Could anyone help?

see registry.txt
you'll have to add "%1" to your open verb

Hi nikos,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately your suggestion hasn't helped: x2 stubbornly opens wrong folders.

Now it looks like this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open_with_x2\command]

Value data:

"C:\Program Files\Xplorer2 Lite 1.1.0.3\xplorer2.exe" "%1"

What's wrong?

as you have it now, unless you make "Open_with_x2" the default verb for file folders, the only way you can open them in x2 is by right-click

Hooray! Now it works. Thanks nikos!

But there's another little problem connected to the 1st one.

Example:

I've got a shortcut on my desktop leading to Program Files folder. When it is opened in WE, Program Files are highlighted in the tree pane. The same happens in WE with any other folder.

When I do the same in x2 instead of Program Files folder, My Computer one is highlighted in the tree pane. Whatever folder I open via my shortcuts, in the tree pane My Computer folder is always highlighted (activated).

How should I configure x2 so that whatever folder I open it is highlighted in the tree pane like it happens in WE? (I mean if I open Program Files folder, Program Files should be highlighted in the tree pane.)
