Thanks, but that doesn't work, at least not on my system (XP Pro SP1).
The installer copied the dll into a folder in Program Files but nothing
appears in the context menu.

The program on kelly's site works here. There is also the target shell =
extension from =
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows95/downloads/contents/WUToys/W95PwrToysSe=
t/Default.asp

This adds a cascading menu to shortcuts that puts the context menu for =
the target on the shortcuts menu, and an Open Container command (which =
opens the folder and selects the target).

It would be trivial to write a script. And I just written one.

set WshShell =3D WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim Ag
Set Ag=3DWscript.Arguments
For I =3D 0 to Ag.Count - 1
a=3Da & Ag.item(I)
Next
set oShellLink =3D WshShell.CreateShortcut(A)
TheTargetPath=3D oShellLink.TargetPath
WshShell.Run "explorer.exe /select," & TheTargetPath

Then assign this script as a verb in Folder options or add by hand to =
the registry changing path to suit.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\Shell\Target]
@=3D"Find Target"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\Shell\Target\command]
@=3D"wscript \"C:\\Desktop\\New Text Document.vbs\" \"%1\""

Hi Fred,

Open the zip file and place the .dll and the .exe in the same folder, then
execute.

I did :) . The dll and uninstaller were copied to C:\Program
Files\OpenTarget\, and it added bits in the registry at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\OpenTarget and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Winwonk\OpenTarget, so it thinks its installed, but there's no
context menu entry.
Thanks for the help

[Kelly]

Hmm!
