Explorer Replacement

What is the command line to turn on/off explorer replacement function in DO ?

P.S. I need quickly enable or disable this option in Win 7

This is not possible, i think, since Opus would need to be entirely restarted after such a deep change.

Opus no need restart to enable or disable this option I tested it...

It's configured via Settings -> Preferences -> Launching Opus -> Explorer Replacement.

I don't think you can change it via the command-line. (I can't think why you'd need to though?)

i would disable this option to enter the system windows (because when enable this function the system windows don't show) so i need fast on/off Explorer Replacement

Why then you don´t use the "replace explorer except for" setting?

i tested and don't work in win7

hmm, this is also an early stage. Windows 7 isn´t even released yet, besides of the RC.

Explorer Replacement doesn't really work on Windows 7 right now so it's best switched off once (via the Preferences window; no need for the command-line) and then left off.

If you really want to, though, you could turn it off and then make a command-line which sets the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell default value to "openindopus" or "open" depending on whether you're enabling or disabling it.

I'd recommend leaving it off, though. You can still launch folders in Opus via the command-line if that's the reason you want to turn it on temporarily. Just use "dopusrt.exe /cmd GO C:" or similar.
