cellulit Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 hi all; for the 1st time i'm trying to trigger a script (or .exe) with an argument of a selected file. an example: select one in explorer, r-click and then "open with... myscript.exe" or "send to... myscript.exe". this is just to process the selected file using a script. so far i've been launching the script separately and i have no idea if what i'm planning to do is feasible. i've tried using $CmdLine, but with no luck. Anyone who could give me a hint? thanks! cell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who could give me a hint? thanks! cell If you want to be able to right click on a file in explorer and have a menu item which lets you run your own compiled script you can do it like this. $KeyName = "celluitExtra";whatever you want the keyname to be. (it has no effect on the operation but must not already exist) $ContextMenuName = "Run My Special Program";set the menu item name here $ProgramToRun = @SystemDir & "\mspaint.exe";put your porogram name here RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $KeyName & "\command", '', 'REG_SZ', '"' & $ProgramToRun & '" "%1"');'"' & @ScriptFullPath & '" "%1"') RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $KeyName, '', 'REG_SZ', $ContextMenuName) MsgBox(0, "Done", $ContextMenuName & " has been added to explorer's context menu") Then the parameter passed to your exe will be the full path to the file, and it can be read as monoceres showed you.
