Open Excel Folder Location Hyperlinks with XYplorer?

Post by wrongbenson »

Hi I was wondering if it's possible to have the default file explorer be XYplorer for when I click a folder location hyperlink from excel.

I have already gone to Configuration -> Shell Integration and checked both "XYplorer in shell context menu and XYplorer is default file manager" as administrator. And this seems to work for when I am in windows explorer and double click a folder - it will then open in XYplorer. But I really need the links that we generate in our excel spreadsheets to open in XYplorer and not Windows file explorer.

Thank you!

Hi,

I'm a new user to XYplorer and this is what I'm after exactly.
My guess is it's an excel hard coded option.

Almost two years since your post, doesn't look promising.
Let me know if you found a work around.

Strange, I'm surprised this didn't work... In Excel I pressed Ctrl+K to make a link. Then I pointed it to
C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe \path="C:\Users\swkunkel\Google Drive"
Excel won't open it though...
