explore verb does not work for context menu command

[extratype]

/custom_verb01=explore and pressing its hotkey on a folder opens explorer,
but /explore_command2=$explore("%1"), /show_explore=1, and pressing the hotkey on a folder does not work.

Custom verbs and explore are two different features.

Please ignore custom verbs and try setting a hotkey to File | Explore under Tools -> Options -> Keyboard.

I set separate hotkeys (File | Custom Verb 1 and File | Explore) and tested both. How do they differ?

File | Custom Verb 1

Executes your item with the verb set to value from custom_verb01



File | Explore

Executes your item with the command from explore_command2
(This might not use the explore verb)

[extratype]

So.. /custom_verb01=explore and /explore_command2=$explore("%1") are different actions although they spelled the same 'explore''?

[void]

Yes, different actions.

[NotNull]

custom_verb entries address the Windows context menu entries.

explore_command creates an Everything-specific context menu entry.
