Re: Can't make xyplorer the default file explorer
Quickswitch pops up a window that lets me select an xyplorer directory then opens it in file explorer. Its usefulness is lost on me - the open/save dialog of a program takes me directly to file explorer - no need to use quickswitch to get there by first listing directories in xy. You misunderstand ...

Re: Can't make xyplorer the default file explorer
Thanks again. I downloaded the quickswitch files, unzipped, and ran quickswitch.exe. Now when I try to save a file I get popup that shows two file locations with the XY icon next to them. But selecting either one opens a windows file explorer window. so I'm right back to where UI was without XYplore...

Re: Can't make xyplorer the default file explorer
if I log into Windows with a nonadministrator account, then xyplorer gives me an error message when I try to check the boxes stating I need to be an administrator. No programs use xyplorer after I check the boxes and restart. I even tried an uninstall and re-install. Edge, Chrome, Acrobat, all the ...

Re: Can't make xyplorer the default file explorer
Hi Gary I assume you are mixing up File Explorer with the open/save dialogues in Win (you are not the first nor the last one to do so). The two look very similar but are completely different things and AFAIK there is no way to replace the dialogues with XY. Now I'm confused - if XYplorer doesn't re...

Can't make xyplorer the default file explorer
I've followed directions using my administrator account on win 10 pro 64bit. Tried unchecking, rebooting, then re-checking and rebooting, but nothing works - all programs still use win file explorer as the default. Is there a registry hack I can use?

Re: file icons
I discovered that xyplorer will display FolderMarker icons (have to close and restart though) but I can't get it to display FileMarker icons.

Re: file icons
thanks for the suggestion, but that was not checked. I checked it then unchecked just to be sure. No change.

file icons
I use a program called filemarker to assign individual icons to my files. When I hoover on a folder icon the popup shows my custom cons for each file, but when I open the folder, the files have the default icons (in this particular case, the Acrobat icon). Is there a setting in xyplorer I am missing...

Re: Label or tag hardlinks
Thanks for the quick reply and code. When I run the script only the last selected file gets the "link file" tag. So, e.g., if I select files 1 to 10, then run the script, only file 10 get the "link file" tag. If I then select file 1 to 9, only 9 gets the "link file" tag.
