[help] How To Revert To Explorer

I recently switched to using NeXplorer as my default file browser using the Folder Options and changing the associated action for drive, file folder and folder. How do I switch back to using Explorer as the default file browser?

EDIT: Woops, sorry bout that. Forgot to add the tag.

as I have mentioned in other posts here is how you do it

Open up regedit.... there are three keys under hkey current user that need to be deleted

find directory

look for shell

under shell you chould see the command that you added... for me it is show in finder

delete that command

do the same for "folder"

and for "drive"

pm me if you have questions. you can see screenshots of what I am talking about in the nexplorer threads.

heres a screenshot.

I don't have "directory" on mine :blink:

#168457

yes you do

keep looking.

#168458

Hy! Who could tell me why when I start NeXplorer,there's a white rectangle and nothing else? No buttons , no nothing,just a blank rectangle? :(

#168518

edit the ini file

thats why

Where the hell is directory, I cant find it

#174837

you have to use regedit

or do u already know about this

run and type in regedit

#174846

Oh really, I mean the Directory in Regedit

#174847

It takes a while to find it, but just search for "shell" in directory and eventually you'll get it. I'll give it a go and see if I can find the entire directory string for you.

EDIT: Bzeitler, are you sure the keys are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER? Because I found mine in:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\

If you could find those three keys again and copy the entire key path and post it here, I'm sure people would appreciate it.

Sorry for post remount but here's my solution for Remove NeXplorer by DEFAULT !

Create an .reg file with this on it :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Open_In_Explorer]
"BrowserFlags"=dword:00000010
"ExplorerFlags"=dword:00000012

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Open_In_Explorer\command]
@=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\
 00,5c,00,45,00,78,00,70,00,6c,00,6f,00,72,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,\
 65,00,20,00,2f,00,69,00,64,00,6c,00,69,00,73,00,74,00,2c,00,25,00,49,00,2c,\
 00,25,00,4c,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Open_In_Explorer\ddeexec]
@="[ViewFolder(\"%l\", %I, %S)]"
"NoActivateHandler"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Open_In_Explorer\ddeexec\application]
@="Drives"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\ddeexec\ifexec]
@="[]"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Open_In_Explorer\ddeexec\topic]
@="AppProperties"

Go in the folders options , go in the 3rd tab and edit the options for Drives.

Now make Open_In_Explorer by default !

:rock:

Now for File Folders and Folders (i don't see the difference ).

remplace Drive by Folder or Directory and go in the folders options , go in the 3rd tab and edit the options for Folders and File folders and make Open_In_Explorer for default option ! (Folder=Folder ,File Folder = Directory in regedit)

PS : for the line with @="Drives" remplace with

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Open_In_Explorer\ddeexec\application]
@="Folders"

it's the same for Directory

-------------------------

Another method (more proper and work with the open in a new folder and blabla options in windows)

-------------------------

Do a .reg file with this on it

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command]
@=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\
 00,5c,00,45,00,78,00,70,00,6c,00,6f,00,72,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,\
 65,00,20,00,2f,00,69,00,64,00,6c,00,69,00,73,00,74,00,2c,00,25,00,49,00,2c,\
 00,25,00,4c,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\ddeexec]
@="[ViewFolder(\"%l\", %I, %S)]"
"NoActivateHandler"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\ddeexec\application]
@="Drives"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\ddeexec\ifexec]
@="[]"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\ddeexec\topic]
@="AppProperties"

Change [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\ with [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ or [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\

(you will need the two)

For the line with @="Drives" remplace with

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Open_In_Explorer\ddeexec\application]
@="Folders"

for both Folders and Directory (same line for the two)

Now windows will traducte the open with the langauge of the OS and use it as default without define anything.

For the regedit tweakers :

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
@=""

This is for windows : use the 1st command in the list for open that.

In this case the open shell command disappeard :( , widows will add it but not in the 1st place. Now it's in 1st place. In my case , doing that opened CMD with this folder pointed in.
