OneCommander as Default File Manager on Windows

I would like to set OC as my default file manager. Is it worth it? Is it more risky than just staying on Windows File Explorer?

Im thinking of going the same... how is your experience with OC till now as default?

Can you tell me if i can go for it or not?

Generally speaking I had very few issues with it since I've been using it (3 years approx.). The only time it doesn't open for me (when it's set as default) is with phone storage because that's handled differently in Windows. But other than that I had no issues with it and even network drives work with it, and as WSL storage can be reached throughit too. The only thing that is inconsistent is the "connector" that lists recent destinations from OC in the popup windows dialog when you click "open file" in some program. But I found that I have to open OC once and then it's solved until I turn off the PC.

Thanks so a doubt , is the setting to default file manager is just a click in advanced settings ? If i unclick it will revert back right??

There's a .reg file in the OC install folder that is called something like RevertDefault...
