[FC] FCW Ctrl-W option query

[Robert Traynor (BobT)]

Hi All,

I have started using Vista Ultimate x86 on a multiboot boot system with
XP.  Because the desktop folders do not behave the way I want 
them to do, I am using Directory Opus as a explorer substitute and
then can set the folders view the way I want.

Naturally, I prefer to use File Commander for most things but I have 
to go to an explorer folder view from time to time using Ctrl-W from
File Commander for Windows.  :-(

I also have to install a fix for Vista which also raises the number of
Vista remembered folders to (I believe) 20,000 and also fixes a view 
setting problem.  [My Xp is set to 8,000 from the default of 400.]

The above may word wrap. Copy between the quotes and save into
a text file "VistaFolderMod.reg".


Now to my request..
Can I set the explorer folder raised by Ctrl-W from FCW to any other
windows GUI file manager like Directory Opus.?

I don't really want to have FCW use the explorer.exe folder system 
and I don't want to set Directory Opus as the TOTAL replacment for 
the explorer.exe shell for the whole of Vista.  I just want to ADD 
Directory Opus as an additional file manager, use the folders as I 
want without the damn Explorer Navigation Pane and ignore using 
Explorer as file manager.

Hope that makes sense.
Regards,
Robert Traynor (BobT).
