Run script on 'Mark-toggle Favourite folder'
Posted: 12 Jul 2011 00:02
I use the "Mark-toggle favourite folder" rightclik menu, which is great, but that only works in XYPlorer. I want these favourite folders to be available in all my other appliciatons File open/save dialog boxes.
So what I want to do is create a script that runs when I toggle the favourite folder menu command and that either creates a shortcut to the current folder and puts in in a spcial folder I can setup under My Documents, or deletes the shortcut if the folder is being unmarked.
This way, all my marked folders will only be one click away in my other applications File Open/save dialog boxes.
I looked at trying to add it to the left hand pane on Office 2007 File open/Save dialog boxs but this appears to be saved in the registry rather than a physical folder. The Windows standard "Favourites" folder is also dodgy as it is linked to the users local profile which I dont user. So I'll use a folder "\My Documents\_XYFavourites"
I think I can write the script to do the create/delete, but how can I make it trigger off hte right click menu?
Cheers
