Here's a great script writing tool!!!

This adds a little item to your "send to" menu.
It copies the full path to any file or folder into clipboard.

All you do is right-click on anything, anywhere,
& select "send-to / clip-this".

Now paste that full path into your script, or wherever you need it!!!

...a helpful note-

You must extract this download into your "send to" folder.

This can usually be found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\[Profile Name]\SendTo

Or, just hit: "Start/Search" to find it.
(type in: send to)

& then fire it up with a big "Oh Hell Yeah"

try windows power tools... besides this it has lots of other goodies, including copy 'contents' to clipboard.

Or you could just make an extremely simple little script that converts it. If you didn't already know, the "clipboard" variable automatically converts non-ascii clipboard contents to their filenames. So, by way of example...

Nice. I use a similar hotkey: pressing Win+C copies the files onto the clipboard and sorts them (since they tend to be out of order):

#c:: ; Win+C hotkey.
clipboard =
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 2
Sort, clipboard ; Make alphabetical (this also converts them to text).
return

Once you get used to it, it seems much faster and easier than "Send To".

Guess Win+C makes more sense than Ctrl+Alt+J... I usually make 'em something ridiculous, to encourage the end-user to pick his own.

Pretty sweet, guys!

I kinda like the mouse click access, though.
I'm too lazy to leave the mouse &
reach for a key if I can click.

Hey, maybe that's a good project.
Build a small clickable "script-shortcut-menu".

But hmmm,... how to access it,...
R/click, I suppose...
Maybe within different windows produce different menus?

-any cool ideas for this?
-how bout the GUI for editing the shortcuts?

You might know that you can already add items to standard Windows context menus using the registry... too lazy to look up a reference page right now. If I run across it later, I'll post it.
