[TOOL] Explorer/FileManager Replacement for Windows 10 x64

[adamba]

also a big TY from my side, for this little but effective helper

Not sure is this is the perfectly fitting thread, but I was wondering, if there actually is a way to use FC in saving/opening dialogues (like: "save as...") instead of the standard windows explorer-like thingy?
Getting more and more annoyed by the standard Windows implementation since actual harddrive letters got disguised by Microsoft

Thank you very much!

I set it up yesterday and it works great, even with the portable version on a different drive. (I was surprised about that. Normally Windows 10 prevents wide systemic changes that don't come from Windows internal folders.) Just make sure you change the paths in the .config and .reg file before double clicking the reg file. Notice that the files specified in each are different: The .config file refers to Freecommander.exe and the .reg file refers to FC_CP_Explorer_Wrapper.exe. Change the path correctly.

Also, notice I am not referring to the Portableapps .paf version, just the regular .zip version of FreecommanderXE that keeps its settings in its own launch folder. The portableapps version has a different executable, FreecommanderPortable.exe, that may or may not work with this little helper application. I don't know.

FYI: I am on:
Win10 Pro 2004 as Administrator
FreecommanderXE_x64 845 for Donors in portable mode

I don't know of a way to use FC for Save-As... dialogues but I do know a couple of tweaks to get Windows to show drive letters in a more obvious way. Here is a tweak to show drive letters first. It will also work for drives in FreeCommander.

Also if you go into Explorer's Folder Options you can untick the option to "Show All Folders" in the Navigation Pane. This will get rid of some of the crud and make it easier to see your drives in the Tree when you expand "This PC/My Computer."

Thanks for the awesome script. Whenever I download FC, I always download your script too.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to open new tab in the current instance. What I found was if I run it like FC.exe /C /T path, then it doesn't open in new tab of current instance. But, if I run it like FC.exe /C path /T or FC.exe /T path /C, then it opens in new tab of current instance. Is there a way to configure .reg file or .config file so that the arguments can be sent like this?

Is there any way you could post a link to the zip file without all the ZipExtractor hoohah? I try to avoid any contact with Google, and I don't want to have to get a gmail account to download your files. I'd just like to download the zip file to my PC and go from there.

Vielen Dank fuer die Hilfe.

There is no need for a google account to use the download link.
And Google isn't the devil which will harm you by just downloading a file from a Google server.
