No way AFAIK. MS keeps some special tricks for themselves.

What you think about this:

-download Filetypesman http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html
-scroll down and choice Folder
- add new Action
- and in command-line: "C:\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" "%1"
- check Default Action
- OK

And now all folders open in XYplorer with My Computer, too but... see yourself.

I would check thoroughly to make sure there are no undesired side effects of doing this based on the info in wiki...see the "Info" box at http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/FA ... anager_.3F

Thanks for suggesting this, its a nice little portable app too and works quite nicely.

I tried this suggestion, but some applications have not merged with the XY, like AppLauncher (windows gadget).
