FrankE9999 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 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.
