Ack.. explorer window keeps opening when I jump to saved dir

Post by *Aquineas »

Running Windows XP SP2, though I don't think that has to do with it. If I jump to a saved directory (using Ctrl-D), instead of jumping to the directory inside Win- er, Total Commander, a Windows Explorer window opens up with the designated directory in place. I hate Windows Explorer. It used to work fine; what did I do to cause this?

Thanks in advance,
Lord, please help me be the person my dog thinks I am..

Hello,
If I jump to a saved directory (using Ctrl-D), instead of jumping to the directory inside Win- er, Total Commander, a Windows Explorer window opens up with the designated directory in place. I hate Windows Explorer. It used to work fine; what did I do to cause this?
This looks like the entry in the directory menu is lacking the "cd" (change directory inside of Total Commander) command before the directory name. If this command is missing the directory will be opened in Windows Explorer.
Double click on one of the "current directory" panels and activate configure. Select the entry which causes the problem. Place "cd" (without quotations marks) before the path.

Duhhhh on my part. I've been using Wind- er, Total Commander since 1996, and I always wondered what would occasionally cause the explorer window to open. Now I know. Thank you from an original Norton Commander 1.0 DOS user.
