I think Jolleyjoe is asking if he can replace the default windows shell with Freecommander...ie: explorer.exe

I think you are right! I want to run FreeCommander by left-clicking on folder`s icon too!
With explorer2 it is possible:

A. HOW TO MAKE XPLORER² YOUR DEFAULT FOLDER APPLICATION

As part of the installation process xplorer² adds "open_x2" in the context menu for filesystem folders.

If you want to have this the default action (so that folders open in x2 when you click on them) then make sure
 this is the default verb, either using Folder Options ("file folder" type) or editing the registry:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
@="open_x2"

If you want some slightly different command line options you can add any of the supported options 
(see the quickstart guide) editing this registry key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]
@="C:\Program files\zabkat\xplorer2\xplorer2.exe" /T /M /1 "%1"

The /T switces causes no tabs to be restored and the /I switch put x2 in single pane mode.

Can i to do this with FC? IMHO, this is extra needed feature.
(with single\dual-pane switching and Individual folder settings like windows explorer.)

Thanks to Marek! It is great job!
