Total Commander open files with native programs (MacOs X, Linux, etc..)

BACKGROUND: (you can skip reading this)
I love TC for years, and now after buying a MacBook Air I was disappointed not finding a replacement on Os X Lion for this amazing tool. I have some windows vmware machines with TC, but is not the same feeling like running native mac apps. Recently I found CrossOver and I was trilled about running TC on it. But I found a big problem, not being able to run most files from it. After multiple tests, reading documentations about how windows and macos x keep default file associations and after many tried (and frustrating) solutions I found the perfect one:

SOLUTION:
Simply go into Internal Associations in Total Commander's File menu, click Add, type in . as filetype, click OK, type in:
c:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe "%1"
in the Open-field, click OK and OK - Done!

This way can also be used to make TC show icons for the files too, but you might have to create one association for each filetype/icon, and be sure to drag the . association to the bottom of the list.

This seems also a solution for the problem found in this locked threads: http://goo.gl/nDYul , http://goo.gl/z4M0H and for this ticket: http://goo.gl/4e9T9

FOR FORUM ADMINS:
Please create a Tips & Tricks article about this solution, because it seems that this is a common issue. I don't know how to do it. It would have saved me hours to have one. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a million for the solution! You saved my day :)

I have installed Total commander and it is working fine with one nasty thing. To open my files I want to double clikck and open it.
I used this tip but it won't let me.

Thanks John
