Wayne -- I wasn't clear enough. It was two unrelated questions.
Sorry for the confusion :-(
James -- Thanks, this is good. Could I put it into My Documents by
hand? If so, how? Which key, and how do I know what to add? Would it
be the same value as in the regular folders? Maybe I won't do this...
Kylde -- Yessir, that's my baby, all right. Is it safe to use it on
Win XP? The MS site says no no no.
By the way, there was an excellent tip recently in PC World (which
they send me free for some reason I have never figured out) on how
to establish a context-menu entry that opens up in any folder a new
folder with today's date. I love that, but it doesn't work in MyDocs
or MyComputer either. Would love to repair that too, if it's possible.
I can write a reg file that will add a shortcut to any context menu
but MyDocs, MyComputer & Drives context menus are not the same as
Folders context menu.
Below is a reg file that creates a printable file of a folder or
drives contents in a format that I like.
============begin copy=============
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Dir\command]
@="command.com /c dir /ogn /l /s >c:\\temp\\dir.txt"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Dir\command]
@="command.com /c dir /ogn /l /s >c:\\temp\\drivedir.txt"
============end copy===============
You'll notice they are not in the same place in the registry & the
same goes for MyDocs & My Computer. If the MyDocs name space is
change to [drive]:\My Documents\ for example then the folder version
works fine & none of them work on the desktop icons. Also please note
I must know the command sequence exactly in order to place the
shortcut on a context menu.
