Problem Description

I attempted to change the file manager that Flow Launcher uses. I first tried using the built-in settings, but it didn't work. Then, I tried modifying it through PowerShell, but that also failed. I even attempted to configure it via CMD, but nothing worked. I’ve tried multiple approaches, but I still can’t get it to work, and I’m not sure what else to do.
