Can Salamander be set as default file browser from apps?

[Setmose]

For example, I'm on a page in a SharePoint portal, and I launch a Browse command to find a file to upload. Can Salamander be set so that it, not Windows Explorer, is used as the default file browsing functionality?

No, such system "hack" is not supported.

I think it would be possible by replacing the default handler of "Folder". The following registry file should work, but maybe you'll need to delete the other values residing somewhere in the Folder\shell key. Also, you have to change the path to Salamander if you installed it in another location than the one used in the file. If anyone's up to the task of testing it, just let me know how it worked. (I used Sandboxie for my testing environment.)

IMPORTANT: this WILL BREAK your Explorer and if you don't make a backup of those keys, you may end up having to reinstall Windows. This hack is not supported by Altap nor Microsoft. :IMPORTANT
