Hi there,

if you don't know where to save this,... are you sure you want to use that?
Please read that post linked by you from the very top and do only what you really understand.

I am sure because i'd like to make it the default file explorer (for things other than control panel & The workstation), as I don't like the built in windows explorer

but I don't know what folder i should save the code I linked in original post

here's a pic of what I mean https://i.imgur.com/IfHT9lo.png

I understand that you mean the code posted by Dalai.
Just copy the code to a text editor and save as eg. TC_Explorer.reg to any location you can find easily, e.g on the desktop. Then doubleclick that file and the contents will be written to the registry.

That's why I wrote:

It's all written there, including another hint that may be important for you or may not.
Ohh sorry, I meant "that thread", not "that post" only. Specifically that > viewtopic.php?p=333318#p333318

And best make your self familiar with the Registry first, here is an start f.ex.:

Here my x64 Windows 10 reg file.

Code: Select all

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:\\tools\\wincmd\\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O \"%1\""
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
 @="open"
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]
 @="c:\\tools\\wincmd\\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O \"%1\""
