So it can be done using shell extensions. These require a bit of COM programming, producing a .dll that needs to be registered. There are a number of issues: 1. This will only work on shell v4.71 and later apparently - but I don't know how that ties into versions of Windows. My MS compiler is a little stale (~v4), so: 2. Are necessary COM headers/templates are available for gcc? 3. And whether gcc would produce a compatible binary? Finally, 4. Is the extra context menu item worth the effort? I don't think I'll be able to get around to this for a while (if at all). For anyone that's interested, here's a link that describes what is required: http://www.codeproject.com/shell/ShellExtGuide1.asp Regards, Dave. __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!
