Run this application when I choose 'Explore Here': When ever you right click an item in RecentX and choose "Explore Here", RecentX will run the program which you specify here. By default, RecentX will run Windows Explorer (explorer.exe).
Run this application when I choose 'Command Prompt Here': When ever you right click an item in RecentX and choose "Command Prompt Here", RecentX will run the program which you specify here. By default, RecentX will run Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
If you specify "%1" as part of the command line parameters, it will be replaced with the path of the item selected in RecentX. This feature is helpful if the third-party program allows you to select a file/folder using command line parameters.
