Seems something is missing! Did you apply the reg file uploaded to downloads?

DimitarCC, I think I'm having the same problem.  I downloaded the version from the link posted by PCWorld's Daily Downloads.  Installed it on a 64-bit system.  After setup, I checked the box to start the program.  Nothing happened.   No program icon on the screen but it appears in the All Programs list on Explorer.  I clicked on the icon there, with the same results (none).   There were no error messages.

I saw your note re the reg file and downloaded it.  How does one apply it?  (I'm new to this)

I had precisely the same problem after installing on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  Applying the .reg file in Downloads instantly solved the problem.  @vandalia, just download it to your PC (any directory is fine), open Windows Explorer, and double-click the file to apply  its contents into your registry.

Thanks, rvonder.  When I doubleclick the .reg file, it opens in Notebook.  Is that what is needed, or do I need to change something/do something different?

I still don't know what I need to change to get a .reg file to run via just doubleclicking on it. However, by running regedit and then importing the .reg file, the merge with the registry occurred. The program now works. Thanks for helping me get started.

need  create a registry,as :HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BExplorer

and create a string value,as: CurrentTheme

like this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BExplorer]"

CurrentTheme"="Blue"

I applied the reg file, and it works fine now. Thanks! :D
