Make XYplorer default file browser for all programs

[tom_01]

Hi,

I've searched a lot for this topic and haven't seen any confirmation on whether or not it's possible: Is there a way to have all programs use XYplorer for browsing files? Eg all programs' Save, Open, Import, etc. use the default Windows file browser instead of XYplorer even after I've set the default to XYplorer in the configuration.

Thanks,
Tom

No not as far as I know, this topic may be of interest to you though:

It definitely isn't

Thank you both. Really appreciate it.

This is definitely my biggest source of friction with alternative file browsers. I'd estimate at least 30% of my file browsing happens in applications' use of the File Explorer. As soon as I get used to using all the great features of XYplorer I'm back in Windows File Explorer--it's pretty jarring.

Open/Save dialogs are not linked to any file manager (whether set as standard or not) but happen to look & act similar to the standard Win explorer because they were probably given the same specs for their development.
