Add 'find target' to context menus
Hi Fred,
Add Open Target Folder to the Context Menu (Line 198) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- All the Best, Kelly MS-MVP Win98/XP [AE-Windows® XP] Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm "Fred" wrote in message ... Is there any way of adding a find target command to shortcut files' context menus with the same functionality as the find target button on the shortcut tab on a .lnk file's properties dialogue?

Add 'find target' to context menus
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.

Add 'find target' to context menus
The program on kelly's site works here. There is also the target shell =
extension from = http://www.microsoft.com/Windows95/d.../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\"" --=20 http://www.g2mil.com/Apr2003.htm http://www1.iraqwar.ru/?userlang=3Den http://news.lycos.com/news/photo.asp...s&photoId=3D2= 93509&from=3Demail --------------------------------------------------------------- David Candy http://www.mvps.org/serenitymacros --------------------------------------------------------------- "Fred" wrote in message = ...

Hi Fred,
Open the zip file and place the .dll and the .exe in the same folder, then execute. -- All the Best, Kelly MS-MVP Win98/XP [AE-Windows® XP] Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm "Fred" wrote in message ...

The dll and uninstaller were copied to C:\ProgramFiles\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
