This has been asked before and I have seen a number of posts here and elsewhere giving info but so far none have worked, perhaps because a few of them are quite old.
I would like to have FreeCommander as default rather than Windows 10 Explorer.
Be grateful if anyone could give me a simple fool proof solution.
Thanks
FreeCommander Instead of Explorer
Re: FreeCommander Instead of Explorer
Thanks for the reply.
I have looked at the links you posted previously but when I tried to apply the changes all I kept getting was errors saying the folder were not available, so I used the uninstall script to get back to normal.

I don't think that is possible.I would like to have FreeCommander as default rather than Windows 10 Explorer.
Re: FreeCommander Instead of Explorer
Thanks Marek, but people have done it, just a question of using the right method or knowing what you are doing!

This one works.
Copy it into fc.reg and execute it after changing the path to your environment
Be careful that all \ in the path have to be doubled.

Re: FreeCommander Instead of Explorer
Hi thanks
Where do I find fc.reg. My programs are installed on my F drive not in the default Windows C. and how do I execute it after I make the change. I have found Folder_Shell_Explorer-default which is shown as registry settings
