Sure, no problem...
1.) Go to Explorer and Click on the Tools->Folder Options and then click the
tab labled "File Types"
2.) Click on the "[NONE] Folder" then Click on the button that says
"Advanced"
3.) Click on "New"
4.) Under "Action" put a description (e.q. Run my batch file)
5.) Under "Applicataion used to perform action:" type in the following:
cmd.exe /a /k c:\Batchfile.bat "%l"
(replace c:\batchfile.bat with the location and name of your batch file)
6.) Click "OK".. OK... OK to get out of all of the windows
You should now have your right-click context menu doodaddy :-D
HTH Have a good one!
