Open directory contents with FAR manager.

However, many of us still deem Explorer to be rather inconvenient as a file management tool. That is the reason many advanced PC users switch to Far. You might have been using Far-manager for years to perform daily file management routine on your computer.

Meta Commander Pro allows you open your favorite file manager from any folder on your hard drive with just one mouse click. 

First select Meta Commander  "Options"  menu item. 
Switch to  "External programs (file managers)" tab.
Choose path to  Far.exe file.

Choose path to Far manager executable module

Next time you wish to run a Far.exe displaying exactly the folder you need, select this folder from the Meta Commander menu and simple right click on it. Voila! You now have a Far-manager  window open and displaying contents of the folder you need.
