Set TC as default file manager?

[Dazzer]

OK, so for example i need to run this?:

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

?

So from the [ to the next [ ?

No, the auxiliary files aren't deleted, in the example i gave those files store data on how a WAV file will be displayed on screen (two files for coarse and fine grained [zoomed] views)

OK, so for example i need to run this?:

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

?

Sorry, that is wrong.
The reg delete line doesn't need or accept your next line.

You are mixing the content of .reg files with the syntax of the reg command line tool.

[Dazzer]

OK!...... so in order to cancel this:

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

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

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open]

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

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]

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

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

I need to do this? (one by one in CMD?)

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

reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]


reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open]

reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command]

reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]


reg delete[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]

reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]

No! Copy the code supplied by Horst.Epp here viewtopic.php?p=446863#p446863, save it to a .reg file and double-click on that file to import it into the registry. It's the same way you went to set TC as default, just with different values.

That leaves the created keys in the registry but that doesn't really matter (and they can be deleted later).

I need to do this? (one by one in CMD?)
reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open]
reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command]
reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
reg delete[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]
reg delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]

I've shown you an example. There are no square brackets. In no case can the ..\shell key be deleted. Only ..\shell\open. Execute two commands sequentially from the TC command line:
reg delete HKCR\Drive\shell\open /f
reg delete HKCR\Directory\shell\open /f

You can also remove keys from the registry by putting a - i front of the key in a .reg file and double-click the reg file.

example - removemykeys.reg

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]

You should never remove the \shell keys themselves, only keys below that!

[Dazzer]

Thanks guys, it's fixed, somehow i missed Horst.Epp's suggestion from the earlier replies ......

You are right - it was just an example of how to use the feature - a better example would have been:

Code: Select all

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command]

Hi folks,

I'm still having trouble getting the defaults back to Windows defaults.

As i understand it, i need to make a txt file and put this text in it:

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

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

Then save it as a .reg, double click it so it runs, and that should fix it right? Problem is, it doesn't work for me, i get this error message:


Cannot import C:\Workspace\regi\info.reg: The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor.

Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong?

Does the .reg file need to be in a specific location?

[Dalai]

The keys are not enough. Do exactly what I wrote above viewtopic.php?p=446877#p446877 with the .reg file contents posted by Horst.Epp.

[Stefan2]

The specified file is not a registry script.

Try it with this header line in your reg-file:

--------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

<your commamds here>

<your commamds here>

<your commamds here>

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

Thanks!

The recycle bin (desktop icon) is still opening with TC, anyone know how i can change that back as well?

[Dalai]

2Dazzer
Which registry keys did you change to make TC the default file manager? All of them must be changed back if you want the previous behavior again.
