Description

The lccFolderExplorer is a windows program developed to allow exploring of folders with both local or alternate credentials. You can explore one to many local/network locations simultaneously.

As of Windows 7, Windows no longer allows Explorer to run under multiple credentials. This program is a workaround for that limitation.

See lccFolderExplorerCL for a command line version.

This programs also works smoothly with lccToolBook to allow you to access local/remote locations under alternate credentials. Here is an example line for the lccToolBook Logic File using this program:

lcc:button	lccFolderExplorer	C:\lccFolderExplorer\lccFolderExplorer.exe

lcc:buttonRunAs	YES

Another example where it preloads two network locations:

lcc:button	lccFolderExplorer Preload	C:\lccFolderExplorer\lccFolderExplorer.exe	lcc:path \\server\share$\folder lcc:path \\server\folder2\folder3

lcc:buttonRunAs	YES

Capabilities:

open folders under alternate credentials
keeps track of paths in a history (like bookmarks)
open one to many folders at the same time
show/hide file details
Right-Click Folder Options

paste file
copy path
open in explorer
Note: on Windows 10, 'open in explorer' only works with Local User. If launching lccFolderExplorer from a RunAs process (like lccToolBook), it will not launch another explorer window. This is a fundamental change in how Explorer works in Windows 10, which affects any process trying to launch additional explorer windows, like the Command Prompt.
add to history

Right-Click File Options

open file
