Tiny Sweet extension to Win98's 'Find'

[miko]

i found a sweet little (32kb) dll that adds XP's 'open containing folder' option to items returned by the 'Find' tool in Windows 98, i don't know about you but i use 'Find' a lot and this is the only thing i like about what i've seen of XP's 'Find'.

now we can have the same handy option too

this is a free C++ code example by byblos (source available) it comes from here

the only thing i didn't like about it was the lack of Capitalization (which the XP version has)

which, i thought, made it look slightly out of place on the right click menu.

but 2 seconds with a hex editor solved that,

i also changed the 'keyboad indicator'/shortcut key from 'n' to 'i' in line with XP

so if your as picky as i am rename and use the "MODIFIED_" one.

ORIGINAL - 'Open containing folder...'

MODIFIED - 'Open Containing Folder...'

to use - drop in 'system' dir and register the dll
