Open Windows Explorer folders in Total Commander

[coo1guy]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but I couldn't find the solution.

I'd like folders on my Desktop to open in TC when I doubleclick on them.

Is there any way to configure this?

Thanks

Yes, with this reg file.
Change the path to TC for your environment bevor you use it.
Note that every \ in the path must be doubled !!!

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
 @="open"
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open]
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command]
 @="c:\\tools\\wincmd\\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O \"%1\""
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
 @="open"
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]
 @="c:\\tools\\wincmd\\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O \"%1\""

If needed, there is a further detailed description here.

Thank you for your codes.

I think this is also a good option, as the folder by Windows Explorer is opened in the active TC window.

Code: Select all

C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O /A /S "%1"

This code is also from you in another context...

The /O switch is already part of my code ?

I think Tuska was referring to the /S switch wich makes TC open the passed dir in the Active panel instead of in the Left panel.

Yes, you are both right.
In this case, I have quoted the entire "line of code" in case someone wants to use this variant.

This line of code also corresponds to my settings in the 'Everything' tool under
Everything Options - 1.5.0.1339a (x64) > Context Menu > "Open (Folders)" and "Open Path":
Command: $exec("C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /A /S "%1")
