My issue is after I go into settings and enable the XY xplorer and shell context menu and default file manager option, explorer.exe no longer launches folders. Instead it automatically creates a shortcut to my second monitor that's built into my computer.
I'm using an ASUS The touchpad of the laptop also doubles as a second monitor. It comes with software called screen expert.
When I attempt to open a folder that's located on the desktop, a brief message appears on the second monitor saying that "the folder has been added to my screen pad"
This sounds like a registry issue.
I believe this issue does not happen with older versions of the software that interacts with this second screen. I don't know if it's possible for me to uninstall or go back to an older version.
If you need any more information please ask and I will provide it. Thank you to anyone who can assist me

- Go to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\Add to ScreenPad\command
Right Click>"Modify"
Paste this value data
"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" "%V"
This solution still leaves the 2nd screen/screenpad in a functional state. The only thing that was changed was how the screenpad reacts when you double click on a folder or choose to "add to screenpad" from a right click in the context menu.
Maybe you can optimize this solution so we can keep that "add to screenpad" context option functional. But this is the best fix I've been able to find so far!
