I am using the free edition 2016 (I want to test this first.... so....)
I followed these instructions:
https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=dfm
but when I choose context menues in Photoshop or other applications and do for example "Right Click: Open In Explorer/Reveal in Explorer" the apps still open the Windows Explorer instead of XYplorer.
What do I have to do to change this? If I cant, there is sadly no use for YXplorer since it would mean that my entire workflow would break apart (I dont want to use two explorers next to each other).
Thx alot.
How to REALLY set this as Standard File Browser?
Re: How to REALLY set this as Standard File Browser?
Its useless to test with such an old no longer existing free version of XY.
If the Explorer is hardcoded in an application you can't do anything.
In general you can try the following reg file after customizing it to your environment.
Be careful, any \ must be doubled.

But it's still only a workaround when applications don't respect registry settings^^

Re: How to REALLY set this as Standard File Browser?
ah, damnit
was hoping for an integrated solution.
I dont know much about messing with registry.
Windows gets worse and worse, incredible.... feel like the damned explorer is only there to annoy users -.-

Re: How to REALLY set this as Standard File Browser?
There can't be an integrated solution.
Any other software is free to use the Windows API for folders or hardcoded Explorer calls.
Whats you problem with using Registry settings ?
Without registry modification many things are not possible.
Any modification can be restored to its original values.

Re: How to REALLY set this as Standard File Browser?
I just never did anything with registry in like 20 years (back in my LAN times that was hehe).
I will dig into it, just dont want to make misstakes of course.
On a sidenote:
- How can I attach my favourite folders to the task bar right click menu? or is that not possible with YXplorer?
Its also really weird how the favourite folders are managed, hmm.
Does the full version have something like a favourite bar like for example chrome?
