Options for Integrating FileBoss with Windows
Use FileBoss as System Viewer folders
These setting determine how FileBoss is integrated into the Windows Shell, i.e. when Windows will call FileBoss to display a folder rather than call Windows Explorer.
When FileBoss is installed it will set a registry entry instructing Windows to list it as a choice on the context menus (right-click menus) for drives and file folders. That setting can be turned off here or it can be elevated to be the default action, such as when a Folder icon is double-clicked.
Common Popup Menu
with FileBoss Added
Note: The Folder settings only apply to normal File Folders. Virtual Folders such a My Network, the Recycle Bin and, on most systems, My Documents will still be opened in Window Explorer. This is by design to allow full access to objects that are not part of the physical file system.
Shell Integration for File Folders (Directories)
These three choices determine how the system will integrate with FileBoss for displaying folders from the desktop or other place (such as from standard File Open and File Save dialogs).
