Clickable shortcut to local file?
On my XP PC, with a local file selected in Explorer, I was able to
open the right-click context menu and select an entry which was worded something like 'Send to clipboard as local link', or maybe 'Send to clipboard in File protocol'. I would get a string like this: file://C:/Docs/MYVIDE~1/Regulars/TGA/TE896C~1.PNG From other applications, typically my text editor, I could then click that to open the file. Anyone know how to do that please, so that I can try it on my current Win 10 PC? In short, how to construct a clickable shortcut to a local file? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |
