Can XYplorer totally replace WE?

Post by drxslump »

Is there a way to set XYplorer as the default file manager?... can't find a reason to keep using windos explorer anymore.

Fantastic, the final reason to buy the product even before the trial ends ;)

The instructions in the referenced FAQ entry only partially replace explorer. Clicking on My Computer, etc, still launches explorer. I'd like to get XY to fully integrate like DOpus does.

After a bit more research, I've found a way to get My Computer, et al to use XPlorer. Modifying the Folder, rather than the Directory root key will do what I want. However, due to the fact that XY will not properly browse the control panel and similar "directories", this doesn't work perfectly. To work around this, you must right click on those items and select Open or Explore. Alternatively, you can leave the default Folder/shell key alone. Right clicking on My Computer, et al, you'll have an option to launch XPlorer.
