How to replace the Windows Explorer?

[barend]

I prefer XY greatly to Window's own, XP or (my current) Windows 7 Bêta.
How can I replace the WE by XY for all instances?
That's not as as easy as it may look, because the WE is also invoked by opening files from certain programs.
Of course I can search the register for all instances, but I doubt I'll catch them all, suppose many are hidden...
Anyone?

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

To answer your question, I'll point to you to the most recent similar thread from about a week or so ago, ok?
See http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3475

I think a quick topic search would have found that, so in future, please give that a try first before starting new thead if possible...it just helps keep the forum a bit neater and tidy, and make searches easier for us as well...yes, I'll admit for a beginner, finding the right keywords to search for can be a bit of challenge, so I tend to use the search "first post" as that often gives me the best results.
