Thank you very much !

I was looking for this for long

I created a “Run SCons” command to directly compile my projects in one single click. Works like a charm.

Can anyone please guide me to a “Delete” button add-in or tweak (like the Mavis Up Button) to add to my tool bar in Win 7? Thanks

What is the registry thread for every folder/file? I want to place a button that’ll be available whenever any file/folder selected, not just specific ones, like Contacts/Libraries and so on. Just the usual files/folders.

For those interested, you can get the current directory by using %2 and the current selected directory using %3.

I also would like to know how to send the current folder as an argument to the command. Thanks!

Great Tip Andreas!

Just like the calculator, can I somehow send the currently open folder or the selected item path to my application as an argument like %1 or %2. (As we add items to the explorer context menus, and our application gets the selected item’s path). What I want to do is run an application relative to the folder I’m currently in.

Thanks,
Piyush

Not a very clear tutorial. I want global commands. Like “Copy To”, “Delete”, and “Move To” ETC. Not just limited to a folder. We need more information on how this is done.

Hello,

Can this be used somehow to add cut/copy/paste buttons ?

Thanks,
OJi.

Hi,

thank you for your efforts and possible further instructions for adding other buttons (the ‘delete’ command, for example).
I have, however, one remark and one question to submit.

Remark: I could not find any occurrence of ‘TaskNoItemsSelected’ key, even under ‘{de2b70ec-9bf7-4a93-bd3d-243f7881d492}’ key. In this case, do I have to create it?
Question: where is the so called ‘Contacts folder’?
