I've got a litle registry script that I've been using since NT4 was
new to add a "command shell here" on the right mouse button when in
file explorer. This works only when the pointer is in the directroy
tree view. (ie left window)

I want the same functionality when I'm in the files view (right window).

Has anyone done this ?

Thanks

No joy.

I'm in the right hnd window in file explorer, such as start->My Documents
(in which case, there is no "left" window and I see a bunch of files)

When I point and right-mouse-click I see
