Replace explorer
-
I'd like to replace explorer for some tings, like control panel. How would I make control panel / file dialogs open with like XYplorer? This isn't exactly a coding question, but I bet someone here has the info / links to help :)
You can open any of the Control Panel applets by typing, for instance, compmgmt.msc (all of the control panel applets are xxx.msc and (usually) live in the C:\Windows\System32 folder) in the run box from the start menu. There are Explorer replacements out there which you can search Google for. Here's one: FreeCommander[^] which it took a few seconds to find.

.mscfiles are Microsoft Management Console[^] snap-ins. Control panel applets are a different beast and have the.cplextension.Steve
