Typing "cmd" in the title bar's path field doesn't work.

Post by BenevolentDeity »

One very useful feature in Windows File Explorer is that when "cmd" (with or without quotes) is typed in the path field of the title bar and the Enter key is pressed, a Windows command window is opened in whichever directory File Explorer is currently viewing. When I do this in XYPLORER it simply tells me that the location or item was not found. Is there some setting that will enable this behavior in XYPLORER too?

You need to use a ! prefix in XYplorer, eg !cmd
