Open Chrome downloads folder with Total Commander

[leo007]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to open Chrome downloads folder "show in folder" with Total Commander instead of windows Explorer?
I already found and followed similar post here https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=276650#276650

my registry modification related to the post:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell]
@="totalcmd"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\totalcmd]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\totalcmd\command]
@="\"C:\\totalcmd\\TOTALCMD64.EXE\" / O / T / L = \"% 1\""

but it doesn't work correctly. in my case it opens the "C:\\totalcmd\\TOTAL" each time I click on "show in folder".
am I doing something wrong?

Much thanks in advance

The switches need to be given directly after the slashes, i.e. not

Code: Select all

/ O / T / L = ...

but

Code: Select all

/O /T /L=\"%1\"

Only spaces between two switches.

Dalai thanks for reply
I modified the entry according to your correction but still doesn't work as should.

Well, is TC 64-bit installed in C:\totalcmd directory, i.e. does C:\totalcmd\totalcmd64.exe exist? If not, you need to change the path according to your system/environment. Also, did the correction change anything? And, did you try without any switches, so only "%1" as parameter?

Ther following works for me since many years.

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\""

Dalai ,Horst.Epp thanks for your replies

this entry part is a similar to my reg key and it works but it alway opens same location for all programs.

Code: Select all

 [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\""

this entry part was SUPER HELPFUL and it fixed an issue of same location. so now different related path get open for each programs I tried.

Code: Select all

 [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\""

works fantastic)

just in case If I would want to restore reg settings to there default.
reg file entry should look like this?

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
 @="none"

 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open]

 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command]
 @="C:\\totalcmd\\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O \"%1\""

 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
 @="none"

 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]

 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]
 @="C:\\totalcmd\\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O \"%1\""
