[?] Open file location by Matti on 08-10-2007 at 08:48 AM
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?

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.
