Shell Integration Settings

Top  Previous  Next

 

Shell integration settings control how FileLocator Pro integrates into the Window shell.

 

ShellIntegration

 

Associate with file types

Associates FileLocator Pro with the files types:

- SRF  the default extension for FileLocator Pro's saved result file.

- FLSX the default extension for FileLocator Pro's saved session file.

- FLWX the default extension for FileLocator Pro's workspace file.

 

 

When set double-clicking on a file of any of those file types will launch FileLocator Pro opening the specified file.

 

Add to a Folder's context menu

Adds FileLocator Pro to the context menu of folders and drives. This provides a convenient way to launch FileLocator Pro for a given folder through right-clicking on the folder and selecting the program from the context menu.

 

Add to a File's context menu

Adds FileLocator Pro to the context menu of all files. This provides a convenient way to use FileLocator Pro to search a limited selection of files through right-clicking on a selection of files, and selecting the program from the context menu.

 

Replace default Explorer Search

Launches FileLocator Pro, instead of Windows Search, when Ctrl+F or F3 is pressed in Windows Explorer.

 

Enable HotKey launch

Enables launching of FileLocator Pro using the key combination WinKey+Alt+F or WinKey+Alt+F3.

 

Note: Hotkey support in enabled through the use of a small light weight application called FLProHotKey that is added to the system start-up list.

 

UAC Note: Since changing shell settings requires administrative privileges FileLocator Pro launches a separate application, ShellAdmin.exe, to actually make the shell changes. ShellAdmin.exe requires privilege escalation and therefore displays a UAC escalation request if UAC is enabled.
