Re: Can I change my default file manager

Back to the OP's original question.

There is no way of making an add on file manager 'default' that I know
of. The first thing I do is start my file manager. Explorer must also
be started before you can use it.

Explorer2 has directions on how to do it. It involves editing the
registry
.
