Explorer Replacement

This page lets you configure the Explorer Replacement system, which controls if and when Opus will replace Explorer when new folder windows are opened.

 

The Explorer Replacement options only affect what happens when some action causes a new folder window to be opened. For example, double-clicking a folder on the desktop, pressing Windows+E, or performing an action within a third-party program that would normally cause an Explorer window to open - in these sorts of cases, Explorer Replacement mode will cause an Opus Lister to open instead of an Explorer window.

Opus does not replace the system file open or save dialogs, so these options have no effect on those functions.

In Vista and Windows 7, Opus will not open the Control Panel even if Replace Explorer for all folders is turned on - the Control Panel (and its various sub-pages) will always open in Explorer.
