Two New Context-Menu Add-Ons!

Featured Replies

Remember my Image-Conversion Shell Extension? No?

Well here are two more shell extensions written by yours truly. Both are fully uninstallable from "add/Remove Programs". Enjoy them!

Name: Directory Usage

Reuirements: Windows NT (2000,XP,etc), and a commandline tool from Sysinternals called "Du".

Description: Adds a handy context-menu item to display directory (folder) usage. Information loads in Notepad, and includes the number of files, directories and the size it occupies in bytes.

Code (save as DIRINFO.VBS):

' (c) 2006 plamdi.com, this file must not be sold, you may distribute it
' freely so long as it remains unmodified with all internal documentation.
' Use this file with Du from Sysinternals. Copy Du.exe to %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32,
' and then run this file to install the shell extension. You may now right click any
' directory (folder) to view it's disk usage.

Name: Quick Find

Reuirements: Windows NT (2000,XP,etc)

Description: Adds a cheap-and-nasty search feature to all folders, so you can right click and select "Quick Find" - this will search just that directory, and it's subdirectories.

Code (save as QFIND.VBS):

' (c) 2006 plamdi.com, this file must not be sold, you may distribute it
' freely so long as it remains unmodified with all internal documentation.
' Wildcards not supported, just type in the search as a logical filename.
' Example: File.Ext
' You do not need to specify file extension, it is optional.
