| How to add a new item to the context menu of folders The following registry extension will add the item "Dir /S" to the folder context menu. By selecting this item the command file (DOS batch file) "C:\BAT\_DirS.cmd" is executed. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CMD1] @="Dir /S" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CMD1\Command] @="C:\\BAT\\_DirS.cmd" In the same way the following registry extension will add the item "Create _ReadMe.txt" to the folder context menu. But the script file "C:\BAT\_ReadMe.vbs" will NOT run when I select "" in the folder menu. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CMD2] @="Create _ReadMe.txt" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CMD2\Command] @="C:\\BAT\\_ReadMe.vbs" How can I change it so that a script file can be executed ? Is the trick that "Command" in "...\CMD2\Command" should be replaced by something else ?      |
