Setting Default File Explorer?

Stretch65

Hi,

Whenever I right click in the the Content Tab and selectt "Browse to File Location", DAZ Studio automatically runs Windows File Explorer (for MS Windows).

At the moment I'm using an alternative file explorer substitute called "Directory Opus" which I find is better in so many ways.  Is there any way of instructing 

DAZ Studio to run this program instead of the Windows File Explorer?

The function of this behavior, AFAIK, is embedded in DS application. There's no configuration in DS or Windows Register to override this behavior. But "solutions are alwasy more than problems" ~~

I use XYplorer. A guy wrote a script with AutoHotKey to redirect Win File Explorer to XY.... a pretty neat solution. Not only "Browse to File Location" but all default behavior of opening Win File Explorer in DS will be redirectly to my XY ~~

I think the script can be modified to open your Directory Opus as well ~~

As a fellow Directory Opus user I looked this up and by default it is not designed to replace the file open/save explorer windows.

However, there is this option - https://resource.dopus.com/t/can-opus-replace-the-file-open-save-dialogs-other-programs-use/36127

DS uses the system default for a lot of external operations, I would assume the same was true for file browsing (or rather, it just tells the OS to "open this" and the OS will then use its default).
