ShellExt 1.5 The ShellExtENG.reg file allows four additions to the context menu available for folders or drives under Win 9x/ME/2000. The context menu for a folder or drive is displayed by right-clicking on the folder or drive name in Windows Explorer. The executable file has a .reg extension, and modifies your system registry. You can open the file with notepad and look over the code to find out what changes are being done. |
Download here: Installation instructions (tested on Windows 98/ME/2000): 1- Extract ShellExt.bat in C:\windows,
or any directory in your path. (use C:\winnt\system32 on Windows 2000)

The second addition allows to output the name of all immediate sub-directories to Notepad. The information saved includes only the sub-folder names, sorted alphabeticaly. This can be easily modified by changing the switches following "dir" in the bat file. This feature is particularily usefull when one desires to compile the folders of a CD-RW media for instance, and was built with that perspective in mind. It appears under "List Folders in Notepad" |

The third addition allows to output the name of files that are not sub-directories to Notepad. The information saved includes only the file names, sorted alphabeticaly. This can also be easily modified by changing the switches following "dir" in the bat file. This feature is particularily usefull when one desires to compile the files contained in one directory such as MP3 files for instance, and was built with that perspective in mind. It appears under "List Files in Notepad" in the context menu. |

The last addition allows you to reset all the Read-Only flags on all the files contained in the current directory as well as those in subdirectories. This feature is particularily usefull when you do not wish to keep the settings used by default by windows when you copy a file from a CD to the hard drive. It appears under "Reset Read-Only flags" in the context menu. Note: the ShellExtFRA.reg file is the French version. See LisezMoi.txt |
