Context menu at desktop that opens Desktop in TC

[Steve Adams]

Hello Everybody,

Does anyone know how I can do this:

When I'm at my Win2K desktop, I would like to be able to right-click on the desktop and have a context menu that lets me open that direcory in TC? (instead of having to go to TC and open up the desktop directory).

Thanks,

Steve Adams (TC 6.5)

Did you give TCShell 1.3.2 a try? See also the user's comments to this plugin. I didn't try it myself... may be, that the plugin / the recommended changes for registry doesn't work for desktop directory...

Thanks. That is a great utility. I am glad that I now have it.

I still could not do it by rt-clicking on the desktop, but I found that if I created a shortcut to the desktop, and put that shortcut on the desktop, and then rt-clicked on the shortcut, then I could do it.

What I use this for is: when I create a file for someone that I want to email, I use TC to obtain the path and file name of the file (instead of navigating to the file from the "attach" list box in Outlook Express.

P.S.: is there a better way to do that?

Thanks, Steve

Right click on file, choose Send to? Or have I misunderstood completely??
