Hey, i have this really need for a script that allows me to right click on a folder and allow me to select "Open in new windows" coz sometimes its helpful.

Like saves time by not having to open up a random folder and navigate to the same location, it can be fustrating. Soo any ideas?

Can it be done through AHK or by modifying the Explorer.exe file.. not sure

Thanks

Code:
Run %1%

If you save above code as Open.ahk to SendTo folder, you can right click a folder and select Send To > Open.ahk to open the folder in new instance of windows explorer.

If you have trouble in locating the SendTo folder, try the following code:
Code:
Run %A_MyDocuments%\..\SendTo


Just a idea.. maybe a bad one.
