Explorer integration

This article describe how to add a context menu entry "Total Commander" to be able to open folders in Total Commander.

Save the following lines as a registry file (for example "tc.reg"). Make sure to select "Unicode" as text encoding. This hint applies to Windows 2000/XP only.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell] 
@="Total_Commander"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total_Commander] 
@="Total Commander"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total_Commander\command] 
@="\"C:\\Program files\\Total Commander\\TOTALCMD.EXE\" /O \"%1\""

Please make sure to adapt the path in the last line to your real path to Total Commander. In this example the perameter /0 is used to open the selected folder in an existing instance.
