Boskabouter76 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi my dear friends!For those of you who use Total Commander with configuration - operation set to left click behaviour, this might be of interest, for those of you who stick to Explorer, this tip won't be of any value.I use to modify .dll files in the I386 Folder, swapping images and stuff. Therefore I have to compress (makecab) and decompress (expand) files a lot. Now I used to open a command window and type in the commands followed by the filename I was working on, but now I found an easier way to either Makecab or Expand files by using the Right Click Menu.I created an installer which drops 2 command scripts into the SendTo folder after which you can right click and either Makecab or Expand files without having to open a command window and type in anything. Simply right click the file and choose either Makecab or Expand et voila....An uninstaller is located in Start > Programs > pdbSendTo > uninstall.I hope it is helpful for someone,Best regards,Paul pdbSENDTO.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) jdoe has certainly posted a SendTo expand and cab idea before, and if I remember correctly it was in both batch or vbs.Here is a more robust system to the one you're offering. Firstly it doesn't use %1% since the variable should be typed as %1. It is a little more robust because the batch files are better and the inf simpler. It can still be uninstalled using Add/Remove Programs.To use it, extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice, right-click on phrenic.inf and choose install, you can now delete the contents of the zip if you wish. You will now be able to right click on a file or folder and choose 'cabitup.cmd' or 'expandit.cmd' from the Send To menu. Cabitup.cmd will accept a file or folder, if it is a folder, you will get a cab file, if a file it will be compressed with makecab.exe. Expandit.cmd will only accept a file; if it is a cab file then it will be extracted to a folder of similar name, if a cabbed file then it will uncab that file.Hope it helps someone out.<Edit>The file I have posted is not in any way only for users of a 3rd party file manager. Any Win2k XP and 2k3 explorer right-click should suffice.</Edit>phrenic.zip Edited August 16, 2006 by Yzöwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
