Configuration > Shell Integration.

It's a steep slope, but I think you will make it.

Just be aware that you can't get XY to substitute for the Open/Save pop-up dialogs since they are a modified/custom vers of WE as I understand it.

And as a kind of help with File Open/Save dialogs one could consider using http://www.listary.com/ which cooperates nicely with XYplorer.

type the following code in notepad and save as .reg file. it will make xyplorer as default explorer.



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Not necessary since the functionality is built in. You just need to tick a checkbox to achieve the same. As has been already explained above...
