Please add an option to set this app as the default file manager. (Like the FileUWP app)

Set:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/files-community/Files/main/src/Files.App/Assets/FilesOpenDialog/SetFilesAsDefault.reg

Unset:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/files-community/Files/main/src/Files.App/Assets/FilesOpenDialog/UnsetFilesAsDefault.reg

I can't add this feature as an option now because it requires administrative privileges.
I'll add it as I develop an installer.
As a workaround, you can do it manually by following the steps in this issue: #11

Hi !
The trick with the registry settings works fine! --> see #11
But: if the foldername has blanks and you make a doubleclick from the Windows Explorer on it, then the FileExplorer opens but not in this directory. The problem are definitly the blanks.
