how to extract and makecab by right clicking..

[XtremeMaC]

Hi there

well i know how to do these by command prompt etc..

now I want to right click on the archived file ie *.dl_ and be able to extract it to the same folder.

now i've tried somethings but it doesn't work

also I couldn't find a way to do it for all *.*_'s

I tried that *.*_, its supposed to work but I cant even manage to extract a dl_ file

actual question how would I get the filename from dos prompt?

what I mean by that

if I use

c:\windows\system32\expand.exe -r command obviously it cannot find any file to process. is there a way to get the filename?

any help? thanks...

All you have to do is add "%l" to the command.

expand -r "%l"

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

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dl_\shell\Expand]

@="Expand"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dl_\shell\Expand\command]

@="expand.exe -r "%l"

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

I have never been able to get wild cards working in the context menu.

While you are testing you may want to use cmd /k expand.exe -r "%l" so the DOS window stays open after running the expand command.
