Files Companion 1.1.0 - all-in-one

Files Companion 1.1.0 — the all-in-one set

Both components now ship inside one installer. Nothing is downloaded at
install time, so it works on a machine with no GitHub access at all.

What is in the box

• Files enhancement layer — restores the launch animation Files loses while it
  stays resident, and routes folders, drives, "This PC" and Win+E through Files
• Modern Recycle Bin — image previews, restore anywhere, copy files out,
  filter by type, Windows 11 styling

Changed in 1.1.0

• The installer embeds both components: 262 KB, one click, no network
• Each component can still be unticked before installing
• The bundled Recycle Bin is removed on uninstall only when this installer
  placed it — a copy you installed separately is left alone
• vendor/RecycleBin carries the component with scripts/refresh-vendor.ps1

Install

Download FilesCompanionSetup.exe below and run it — no administrator
rights. To remove it later, run Uninstall.cmd in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FilesCompanion.

FilesOpen.exe is also attached for anyone who prefers to wire up the registry
keys themselves.

Requirements

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), Files installed, and the WebView2 Runtime for the
Recycle Bin component (preinstalled on Windows 11).
