Hello,

When you right click on the empty space in windows explorer a context menu appears. Can I add a menu item to this context menu? So far the closest I can come to this is adding to the context menu you get when you right click on a folder icon.

I will already be in the folder I wish to run the .bat file in and it’s a pain to always have to go up one level and click on the folder’s icon to get to my menu item.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Rusty

Thanks for replying! Actually I already have the "Open Command Prompt Here" added to the 'folder menu' (where you right click on a folder) -- in fact the command I want to add (Start New Animation Project) presently resides in this menu. However, this is not the context menu I want to add it to. The menu I'm interested in is the one you get when you right click on the background of a windows explorer window.

Cheers,
Rusty
