From: JPS on 24 Jul 2008 07:34 I want to be able to right click on any file on my desktop/pc and have a shortcut "Copy File to Doc Manager". The short should run an application that will copy the selected file to a pre defined location. I am not quite sure what I can use for something like this. Can a VB program do this? Please point me in the right direction if this is the wrong group.

Oh, you want a "shell extension." Search for that on Google (and include "vb -net" in there as well). It's not super-easy, by the way, nor is it impossible....

I think he only needs a file association and the use of Command$: "I want to be able to right click on any file on my desktop/pc and have a shortcut "Copy File to Doc Manager". The short should run an application" |
