Re: Setting OC as default file manager

[Milos Paripovic]

Do at your own risk!

Backup registry and also make sure you save default values for these before changing

Open OC, and in About click "Exe Location"

Shift+RMB on exe file and "Copy as Path"

Open registry and go to:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell

create Key "OneCommander"

in it create Key "Command"

double click (Default) in it 

and paste the path to exe file

including quotes and add -"%1"

so it looks something like

"C:\Users\milos\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\OR13A28M.35H\M5X1JLJK.PWO\onec..tion_0000000000000000_0002.0001_a4ed69ae4790c1ba\OneCommanderV2.exe" -"%1" 

Go back to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell

double click (Default) and type OneCommander

Do the same in 

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Drive\shell\

To revert, delete text from (Default) in 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Drive\shell

(or set to whatever values were before)

See the link on 5th post.

Hi and thank you for the guide. 

I got all the way to where I edit the Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Drive\shell\ string. 

This string is nowhere to be found? I have searched for the string but no results. 

Is it possible it is renamed? I am on Win10 with everything updated. 

Any tips from u guys?

Regards

Hmm... I just checked and I also don't have it. This one was originally submitted by a user from the original OC forum. If you are not in a hurry, please wait until Monday/Tuesday and I'll make a two registry files, one for registering OC as default file manager, and one for unregistering so you'd be able to doubleclick and it will set all keys correctly.

Does this still work with the latest clickonce v3 beta version?

It should, the path just needs to be correctly set

This is now obsolete. If someone is using this, backup registry, run the unregister script from the zip file, make sure Explorer is working again, then use the Register buttons from One Commander in Settings>Advanced
