Right Click menu

Guest

Can someone help me to find a way to right click on a file and have a menu
choice of "send hyperlink". I don't want to send the file, but just the
network location to the file. like \\servername\sharedname\filename.

Thanks,

Jeff Viola

This should work but the command prompt will open then close almost
immediately.

Copy and paste the following into notepad and name the file "whatever.reg".
Modify the path to your requirements and double-click the "whatever.reg"
file to import into the registry.

-------<BEGIN COPY----
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Send Hyperlink]
@="Send Hyperlink"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Send Hyperlink\Command]
@="cmd /c copy \"%1\" \"\\\\servername\\sharedname\\foldername\""


--------<END COPY-----

I thin we are on the right track. Can that be modified so that if I right
click and I choose send hyperlink, a new message in outlook will open and
have the hyperlink sitting in the email?

Thanks,

Jeff

Also post your question in this newsgroup, you will need a script to do what
you want. Then add the registry entries for the context menu to run the
script on the selected file. I am trying to do this when I have some spare
time but these groups might have quicker results for you.
