Re: Win 10 - Set XYplorer as default file manager
I love this program and want to become a power user....
but I cannot make it my default windows file manager. All other programs and apps bring up the Windows version. I have tried the setting above and it does not work. Advice? I'm running windows 10 on a Surface 4 Pro.
Thanks,

Programs and apps? Using that setting makes XY the default when you (double-) click on
folders or drive icons (e.g. on your desktop)...

Re: Win 10 - Set XYplorer as default file manager
For example, I use Bluebeam for pdfs alot and I want Bluebeam to open XY when I file. Outlook is another pain, when I want to save an attached file, Outlook opens the default Windows File manager.
I never want to see the default windows file manager again.
Thanks for your interest in my problem.

Re: Win 10 - Set XYplorer as default file manager
Sorry, but you don't understand what "default file manager" in this context actually means.
What you are asking for is nothing that XY provides (because you want to replace
the Windows inbuilt file dialogs)...
