This adds one command to the shortcut menu when clicking folders (or
folder shortcuts!)
- Open DOS Box ... opens an MS-DOS box, set to the directory/folder you
clicked on!
And it adds two commands to the shortcut menu when clicking files:
- Edit with Notepad ... does as it says
- Open DOS Box ... opens an MS-DOS box set to the directory the file is
in.
'Edit with Notepad' is also set to the default option for unknown
extensions. So if you have a file like "blah.rmn" you can double click
it and it will open in notepad for examination.
I find these to be real handy extensions to Windows 95 and initiating
them just requires a double click of the REG file. |
