Hi,
I was using XYplorer as the default file manager for a bit in Windows 10 but decided to revert back to File Explorer as the default in 11. I got an error message saying "You need administrator rights to change this setting".
So I quit XYplorer, selected "Run as Administrator", approved the UAC prompt but then I go into the menu and see the same message.
Windows 11 - Unable to untick "XYplorer is default file manager"

This reg file may solve it independent of the setting in XY
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
@="none"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
@="none"
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3527)
Portable XYplorer (actual version, including betas)
Everything 1.5.0.1373a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.3, Listary Pro 6.3.0.73
