[Is there a way to add to the Start > Search menu?]

Hi everybody,

I had some spare time and decided to spend it developing this little tool.

It just puts the Locate32 item to the Start > Search menu. On clicking

this item the handler launches Locate32 as you wanted.

I haven't found how to upload a file to this forum, so I put it on

our web site at: http://www.contextmagic.com

The direct download link: Locate32 Search Handler

To install this tool follow these steps:

1. Unzip the archive to the folder where Locate32 is installed.

2. Run the _reg.bat file.

3. Have fun

Please direct your comments to this topic.

Have a nice day,

Leonid

[Is there a way to add to the Start > Search menu?]

Just4,

To add a new item to the Search menu you need to develop a find extension (aka search handler). I guess you can ask developers of Locate32 to do this for you and other customers. As far as I know it's very easy coding. It might take about one working day.

Have a nice day,

[Add 'Find Target' to Right Click...]

Hello.

Oh_key, I'm afraid you won't find such a registry hack for .lnk files. As far as I know you need to load the shelllink and resolve it. After this you'll be able to find the target object. At least Context Magic doing so. I agree with maxXPsoft, you'll need a .dll.

Have a nice day,

[Here's some shell extensions...]

Hello.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this to current conversation, but I've

discovered some traffic peak in my logs, so I guess you're interested

in useful shell extensions.

Here is a couple didn't mentioned before.

Infotag Magic

Windows shell extension that displays extra data stored in the tag fields of

MP3, WMA and Ogg Vorbis files in a tooltip window next to the mouse pointer.

Also it provides a quick preview for plain text files, shortcuts properties and

version information of executable files.

Instant ThumbView

A tiny image viewer shell extension that displays image thumbnails in a tooltip

window, when mouse pointer is hovered over an image file in Windows Explorer.

Here is a screenshot:

Context ThumbView

A small picture viewer that provides image files preview directly in the right-click

menu.

Note. This one is similar to PicaView, but has less functions and is much more lighter.

Here is a screenshot:

Hope they will be of help to you.

Have a nice day,

Leonid
