Double Commander as default file manager on Windows 10

doublecmd.reg

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:\\Program Files\\Double Commander\\doublecmd.exe -P L -T \"%1\""
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
 @="open"
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]
 @="C:\\Program Files\\Double Commander\\doublecmd.exe -P L -T \"%1\""

only tested on windows 10 - does not replace Win + E key at this point

I can confirm this works on Win 11, but if I already have an instance of DC open it won't use the same one and create a new one instead. Is there a way around this?

great! I think I fixed this just with an option within DoubleCommander -
