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

  • Create a new text file with a .REG extension (Windows Registry Script), e.g. TC.REG. Paste the following text into it:
REGEDIT4

[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\""
  • Adapt the path in the last line to the real path to Total Commander. You can miss the /O parameter, in this example it is used to open the selected folder in an existing instance.
  • Save this file in the "ANSI" text encoding.
  • Double-click this file in the TC or Explorer. You must see the messagebox about successfull importing of the registry script.
