Making Win-E open XYplorer instead of Explorer
Posted: 08 May 2006 03:07
You can make Win-E open XYplorer by using an application called HoeKey.
First, you have to disable the normal action of Windows Win-X hotkeys. In Windows 95/98/Me you just have to close Explorer. In Windows XP, either use the TweakUI PowerToy to disable the hotkeys, or run "regedit" and change
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoWinKeys"=dword:00000001
Then launch HoeKey and add to your config file the following line:
Now Win-E will maximize XYplorer (I keep it open all the time, minimized in the system tray). Of course you can change this to any hotkey you like, or make it open XYplorer instead of just maximizing it (see the examples in the default config file).
