# Shell Integration Settings

Top Previous Next

Shell integration settings control how Agent Ransack integrates into the Window shell.

Associate with file types | Associates Agent Ransack with the files types: - SRF the default extension for Agent Ransack's saved result file. - FLSX the default extension for Agent Ransack's saved session file. - FLWX the default extension for Agent Ransack's workspace file.

When set double-clicking on a file of any of those file types will launch Agent Ransack opening the specified file.

Add to a Folder's context menu | Adds Agent Ransack to the context menu of folders and drives. This provides a convenient way to launch Agent Ransack for a given folder through right-clicking on the folder and selecting the program from the context menu.
Add to a File's context menu | Adds Agent Ransack to the context menu of all files. This provides a convenient way to use Agent Ransack to search a limited selection of files through right-clicking on a selection of files, and selecting the program from the context menu.
Replace default Explorer Search | Launches Agent Ransack, instead of Windows Search, when Ctrl+F or F3 is pressed in Windows Explorer.
Enable HotKey launch | Enables launching of Agent Ransack 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 list.

UAC Note: Since changing shell settings requires administrative privileges Agent Ransack launches a separate application, ShellAdmin.exe, to actually make the shell changes. ShellAdmin.exe requires privilege escalation and therefore displays a UAC escalation request if UAC is enabled.
