Adding an exe to the system context menu's

[Mat]

For the this script, lets just say i want to make a script that goes in the right click menu for all files - and can be run so the file fills a variable in the script: $file.

$file = _________________________________________________________________
FileCopy ( "$file", "c:\Program files\", 1 )

there are two factors in this - help in either will be great!!

this site might just solve my context menu problems

How-to-geek

but how can i get it to work with the variables?

thanks

Example to add the registry entries:

;next line is not essential, but adds custom description, otherwise Context will be say "YourProgram"
RegWrite("HKCR\*\shell\YourProgram", "", 'REG_SZ', 'Your Program Desciption')
RegWrite("HKCR\*\shell\YourProgram\Command", "", 'REG_SZ', '"Your Proagram Path\YourProgram.exe" "%1"')oÝ÷ ØLZ^¡ûay.¬ú趦IÊâ¦Ö®¶­sdbb33c´6ÖDÆæU³ÒÒFVâW@¢b33c¶fÆRÒb33c´6ÖDÆæU³Ð·VæV66W76'Â'WBW6ær÷W"W×ÆP¤bfÆT6÷gV÷C²b33c¶fÆRgV÷C²ÂgV÷C¶3¢b3#µ&öw&ÒfÆW2b3#²gV÷C²ÂFVà ´fÆV6÷7V66VVFVBæB&WGW&æVBÂ÷"G'VP ×6t&÷3"Âb33µ7V66W72b33²Âb33c´fÆRfײgV÷C²v27V66W76gVÆÇgV÷C²fײ5$ÄbfײgV÷C²6÷VBFògV÷C²fײ&öw&ÔfÆW4F"Â2¤VÇ6P ´fÆV6÷fÆVBæB&WGW&æVBÂ÷"fÇ6P ×6t&÷3"Âb33´fÇW&Rb33²Âb33c´fÆRfײgV÷C²6÷VÆBæ÷B&RgV÷C²fײ5$ÄbfײgV÷C²6÷VBFògV÷C²fײ&öw&ÔfÆW4F"Â2¤VæD`

Thanks alot that works great - any chance of an explanation into how it works?

how does the CMD fit in?

also

;uneccessary, but using your example

so i could simply write

If FileCopy ("$cmdline[1]", "c:\Program files\", 1) Then

etc.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, $CmdLine[1] holds the full path of the item being clicked. But You do not want to to put in in any kind of quotes within AutoIT..unless you are trying to pass the literal string to the command. Your Line should read:

If FileCopy ($CmdLine[1], "c:\Program files\", 1) Then
