The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

I am having a problem making TeraCopy my default copy program.
In the preference window there is a option for Shell Integration, but it doesn't allow me to select it:



Also, in TeraCopy directory there is a file DefaultHandler.reg. I opened the file in Notepad++ and edit the path, so now it looks like this:
But still doesn't work.

Can someone tell me how to integrate portable TeraCopy and make it default copy program? I am using Windows 7 x32.


Thanks!

The function has probably been removed from the porable version of the program,
maybe needs a shell.dll or something.

Why dont you just use an installer to put it on your system?

I don't think it's possible to integrate portable TeraCopy in windows. I tried different settings in the registry, but nothing worked. At least on Windows 7 x32.

It is possible, you just have to keep experimenting. I got it to work on XP Pro SP3 32 bit and on Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit.

Try this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{A7645AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{A7645AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}\InProcServer32]
@="D:\\path\\to\\your TeraCopy folder\\TeraCopy.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\DragDropHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\DragDropHandlers\TeraCopy]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved]
"{A7005AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"="TeraCopy"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Code Sector\TeraCopy]

Hi I found that as soon as you go to
--> HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\DragDropHandlers
the (Default) has no value so I simply edited it to have the value of TeraCopy now it works fine for copy/drag/cut/etc.


I'm on Windows 7 ROG Rampage x64 and used the Registry Workshop to edit the value
