I'd like to use XY for the windows open file dialog, like when opening an Icon file when editing an XY button.

There may be others but as I wrote there, I don't believe it's possible.

Replacing explorer.exe would replace the start menu... desktop...
The change will probably need to be done in the registry for specific cases of what is called when.
Directory Opus does this, but they want 3 healthy organs for their program.
