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

 

ShellIntegration

 

Associate with SRF file type

Associates FileLocator Pro with the extension SRF, the default extension for a FileLocator Pro saved result file. When set double-clicking on an SRF file will launch FileLocator Pro with the given SRF criteria file loaded.

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 'FileLocator Pro...' 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 'FileLocator Pro...' from the context menu.

Add to Find/Search Start menu

Adds FileLocator Pro to the Windows Search 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 code.

 

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