Default File Manager

In Configuration I have ticked the option to use XYPlorer as the default file manager. It claims that doing this will cause double clicked files or folders to open in XYPlorer. Howvever when I double click on a folder on the desktop, nothing happens. Even with an XYPlorer window visible on the desktop, double clicking the folder does absolutely nothing. Why is this?

Post a screenshot of regedit.exe with the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Shell\XYplorer\Command

The key does not contain an XYplorer entry - see attached

Did you use "Only for the current user" in "Scope:" (Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Default File Manager)?

If yes, remove both checkmarks, set them again, check the registry

Did that. Reg entry is now present and all appears to be OK.
Thanks for the help.
