Adding hotkeys to shell extensions?


Recommended Posts

Ive created my shell extension, a grepping program which properly displays in the context menu in Windows Explorer. When I choose it, the file/folder/files selected in Windows Explorer are passed through a command line parameter into a new instance of my program. This is excellent, however if I need to do this without using the mouse I need to hold down SHIFT+F10 to open the context Menu, press G to select the "Grep" option, and then enter to launch the program. Is there a way I could get windows explorer to do this by a shorter method, such as WINDOWS+G or CTRL+SHIFT+G?

Thank you for the help

iam sorry, iam not answering your question but i rather want to get explanation, i also manage to make a shell

extension which displays properly but it only can handle one file\folder name, i want this program i made to

handle several choices of files and folders, would you tell me how did you do it?
