Hi again!

Today I'm looking for a way to do what Explorer's right-click command "Open file location" does for search results. If you're searching for a file, you can right-click a result and choose "Open file location". This will open the parent folder and selects the file in the folder. That's exactly what I want for my script now...

So, is there any way I can do this using the Win32 API?

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: I don't know if this feature is Vista-only, if someone can try this out on XP maybe?

works on xp too

You can code an executable that will add the function you want to the right-click menu just like the one CookieRevised made but implementing the function you want.

To view the C:\WINDOWS folder and select CALC.EXE, use the following syntax:
explorer /select,c:\windows\calc.exe
