The problem comes when "Use 64-bit preview handler for preview" is set.

Now the question, which setting makes it not-working in the normal settings ?

PDF-XChange Editor version 10.2 build 384 is set in the OS as PDF previewer.
Preview works fine in all file managers and Everything.
Only previewing a PDF from XY (preview pane) blocks deleting it from any other tool.

It's not only Adobe, also PDF-XChange blocks while previewing from XY.
But for me, this is an XY specific problem.
Using the same Explorer preview module from Total Commander or Explorer
there is no problem to delete such a file from other tools like XY or Free Commander.

This is not possible with thumbnails.
Use the preview pane.

Your "There has to be a way..." is only your wish regardless of how context menu works.
XY can't see what shell extensions display as the final result !
That's a chain of context menu handlers, and each one decides what it displays.

That's a relative fresh Insider build.
Not sure if it makes sense to debug.

And you run your batch file under the same user account as XY ?
Drive mappings are account specific.

I use the portable version of XY which makes backups very easy.
Using a ZPAQ backup of the whole tree (excluding the thumbnails)
gives me access to all previous version in one archive.
As ZPAQ is deduplicating the stored data, the archive size is moderate.

Thank you for your time and the code. It works like a charm! That said your insight would be appreciated if you would explain why your code works and mine does not. Clearly I am missing something here but don't know what it is. Read Highend's post again. That's the explanation why your code doesn't...

I am not able to preview doc or docx files. Any news on this? Tested with 25.30.0008 beta To see more than pure text extracts you need a Preview module which also shows previews in Explorer. If Explorer preview works, it will also work in XY. For PDF, it's easy as there are many available Tools whi...

Ignoring Close confirmations is enough, any additional step is wasting users time.
People ignoring such confirmations will also do other harm to their system
and no programming will stop them
Btw. deleting an important e-mail is not the same as simply closing a tab.

Basically a good idea, but button bar space is more limited than context menu entries.
For me, the best way is to use a hotkey for such functions.

Calibre doesn't bring any Explorer Preview function
so XY will not display a preview for it.
There is no OS native epub previewer and also no public available epub preview tools.
Using a tool like DarkThumbs you can get a thumbnail view of the cover page.

Having such a file name makes any content unnecessary
