How to open Total commander from folder widnow under win 7&a

[toybear1999]

How can I open total commander from folder window under win7 and browse the files under current folder window? I often need to switch from folder window to Total commander. But I don't want to replace the folder explore with total commander. Appreciate your help.

One way would be to put a link to TotalCmd.exe in c:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\

Add some options to your liking eg " /o /t" to open a new tab in the existing TC instance.


The other way is to create a real context menu entry for folders. Save as tc.reg and run:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Total Commander\command]
@="\"c:\\Program Files (x86)\\TotalCmd\\TOTALCMD.exe\" /o /t \"%1\""

To have an entry when you click in the background of the explorer window:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Total Commander\command]
@="\"c:\\Program Files (x86)\\TotalCmd\\TOTALCMD.exe\" /o /t \"%V\""
