I just have done a small overview over your extended Menus for TC7.55.
Since your Buttonbars, Menus and Commands only supports XP -but not Vista and Win7,
some Icons in the Buttonbar are missing and indicates that are non funtional (Win 7):

Accessibility Options

Disk Defragmenter

Indexing Service

Automatic Updates

User Accounts

Windows Firewall

Wireless Network Setup Wizard

ClearType(R) Settings

Intel(R) Graphic Driver

Java Control Panel

Quicktime Settings

================

Clipboard

Windows Movie Maker

Parameter fehlen ?
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer

Backup

Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard

Dr. Watson for Windows

Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

Help and Support

Microsoft Windows Update

System Configuration Editor

System Configuration Utility

System Restore

TweakUI

Master Volume

Media Player

Sound Recorder

FreeCell

Minesweeper

Pinball

Solitaire

Internet Hearts

Internet Reversi

Internet Spades

Chat

Dial-up Connection

HyperTerminal

NetMeeting

Network Setup Wizard

Phone Dialer

Remote Assistance

Wireless Network Setup Wizard

Accessibility Wizard

================


There is a Menu-item for Windows Fax and Image viewer,
I am missing the parameters for the file under cursor there
(Just a matter of taste and can be added manually,
just a suggestion from me)

I love the new Lister-Item in the menu !

Thanks for your great effort!

When you recognize missing or non working Items in the extended Menus from petermad,
please ask (here, or in a new thread, or in the TC-Wiki) excactly what it is.
Or even better, you repair it by yourself and search the internet for Windows7 RunDLL32-Commands:
http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/rundll32-vista-windows7.htm

One can search on the own Machine for *.cpl -files, for the Windows-Games or for "defrag".

Some programms like TweakUI, INTEL Grafix, Java or Quicktime didn't show up, because it isn't installed.

Thank you very much for the list. I will look into it.

Indeed TweakUI, INTEL Grafix, Java or Quicktime are third party programs that doesn't come with Windows.

To ehab and elquia---

Windows 7 is a new Os and has no service packs for it,
Whats a service pack --- Many bugs are fixed and new features
are added.
Win Xp SP3 had bug fixes over 800 ----
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP#Service_Pack_3

Therefore u move to vista which has Sp2 released

Most TC plugins support auto installation, just double click on the plugin archive and TC will ask you to install it.

After installation of the extended menufiles, one can switch to the new menu in the TC language configuration.

Just double-click on the downloaded zip file while you are in TC, Then autoinstallation should begin, if you haven't changed the setup of autoinstallation.

Back from vacation - but finally, here is the NEW VERSION.

Sorry - no support for Windows 7 items yet - it is not doable without having a running version at hand.

-------------------------------------------

Version 7.55a of the menus are available for download (links in first post):

New:
  • Updated Old Style Help file (totalcmd.hlp).
  • Added extra items to "Folders".
  • Expanded the "Help" item.
-------------------

Nyt:
  • Opdateret Old Style hjælpefil (totalcmd.hlp).
  • Tilføjet extra punkter til "Mapper".
  • Udvidet punktet "Hjælp".

Hi,

I have a simple question, what is the best way to use this plugin?

Does it have to be installed? Or one can simply overwrite wcmd_eng.lng with wcmd_ext1_eng.mnu and restart?

I ask because I use my own wcmd_eng.lng so I guess it would interfere with the one that comes with the plugin?

thanks!

Just double-click on the downloaded tcmd755a_eng.zip - then it should be installed automatically.

It will not overwrite wcmd_eng.lng.

mmm, ok I installed it. Of course it does not overwrite my wcmd_eng.lng, but TC is using the one in the plugin I guess, so the effect of my wcmd_eng.lng is gone.

For the record, I use it only to disable &R and &C, its just this:
English
1147="Remove current dir"
1148="Configure..."

So, I guess I'll just change those entries in wcmd_ext1_eng.lng and the effect would be the same...

thanks

EDIT: done, and of course, it works.

petermad,
Just right-click on the downloaded tcmd755a_eng.zip
Double-click?

Impressive effort. Highly recommended for new users to make them familiar with what tc can do. May be overwhelming at first (with all those commands) but it paints a good picture of what's under the hood.

Thanks petermad.
