FreeCommander Forum

I know that this was asked before but there was no answer given.

Can I set Free commander as the default in Windows Vista?

Hoping for a Yes answer.

Thanks

Is there a reason that this question doesn't get answered?

I am not the first to ask it but I haven't been able to find an answer.

I really like FreeCommander and I think that it is reasonable to want it to be the default "explorer".

If it can't be done, I would appreciate being told that it can't be done.

If it is a stupid question.. I am sorry but would still like an answer.

Thanks

Robert

Try this:

A big thank you..... I will try this and see what happens.

I'll be glad if it works as I assume it will.

Thanks again.

I've managed to make it the default handler of folders on Vista thanks to a little registry hacking, but I wouldn't really recommend it. The problem is it takes over all of Windows Explorer's jobs but can't handle all of them; for example if I open the Recycle Bin, FC tries to open it but fails. Same with Control Panel etc.
