XYplorer Beta Club

hi, how to "browse file with windows explorer" by using hotkey in xyplorer ?
when right click a folder in xyplorer,there is a menu "explore" ,click on it , and that folder will be opened in a new windows explorer
but this menu is only available to folder,i want it to be available to any file
in other way , i want a user command menu ,such as "Explore File" ,when a file selected in xyplorer and the user use this command , a new window explorer will be opened (windows explorer will open the folder contain that file) and the mouse will point to that file

Any helps will be much appreciated
Thanks so much

Nne way round this might be to add an Explorer shortcut to the "send to" folder and send folder/item there.

thanks ,but how to do it ,please tell me more detail

I think he mean go to target of .lnk files.
Then, here's the script:User > Manage Command > Run Script > New >
- Type anything in caption
- Paste above code in "Script" field
- Assign your keyboard shortcut

Or you can right click Toolbar > add a user button then paste above code into

No, what he's looking for is this:

Hi, thank you for the helps, binocular222 and highend
sorry for non clear question before, now i write it more clearly ,highend had understood before i edited the post
and his command is exactly what i need, thank you ^^

You could enhance it a bit (at least that's what I'm doing) with e.g.: If nothing is selected: Explorer is opened with the current path
If a single folder is selected: Opened with this folder as current path
A single file: Current folder with that file selected

My personal script uses get("trigger") to see if it's started with
a left or right click on the button and acts accordingly (left click =
start with admin rights | right click = not elevated)...

Another useful WE argument tip is /root:Which gives you an instance of WE that is similar to using a locked home zone tab in XY, in that it allows you to browse descendants of $folder but will throw an error/open a new instance of WE if you try to go anywhere else.

In case anyone else is attempting this, I have tried both suggestion and the one that works for me is I am unsure why behave differently and so it did not work for me.
