So, consider this a dead project Last commit was a fortnight ago, so it's just that the developer's priorities don't align with yours ... If you can't right click, it is useless. You can right click if you set it to run as administrator. I assume the Windows file explorer has those rights built in. On the other hand, I quit using Explorer++ when I realized I couldn't drag and drop files from the desktop to an open Explorer++ window. I don't have any problem dragging and dropping files from the desktop to an open Explorer++ window, using version 1.4.0.110 (32-bit) on a Windows 7 SP1 machine. Also, no problem with right clicking; even when not running as administrator. John -- |

I didn't mind setting it in compatibility to run as administrator to stop the right click bug. Not being able to drag and drop files from the desktop to an open Explorer++ was a deal breaker for me. |

Best Regards, The homepage lists 1.3.5 including x64 which I'm using, the forum lists "1.3.1 now available". I haven't had any problems with 1.3.5. I also installed QT TabBar on MS File Explorer, middle click on a folder to explore it in a new tab, middle click on the tab to close it. Works perfectly, super-convenient. I don't have the same frustrations w/MS explorer the OP did, so far QT Tabs has made it easy to like. http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/ |

Maybe not but if you look at the help/about info for that build, the last build date shows 2013. Not exactly current. As soon as I realized I couldn't drag and drop files from my desktop to Explorer++, that was it for me. I'm on Win10 64bit and had the 1.35, 64bit version of Explorer++ |

You have to run it as administrator to get options like replacing file explorer to work. At the same time you have to have "run as administrator" turned off in compatibility mode to get the drag and drop to work. |
