Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / December 2006Windows Explorer right-click drag and drop: New option
In Windows explorer, if you right click drag and drop a file from one location to another, you get (as a default) 4 options: Copy Here, Move Here, Create Shortcut Here and Cancel. If I want to add an option to that list, how would I do that? When I copy files from my local drive to my MP3 player, sometimes they get copied incorrectly (my fault for buying a cheap MP3 player). I would like to add a XCopy function (called from a batch file). Any ideas as to how I can do this? I know how to add to the Send To menu, but this is different. Any and all thoughts are welcome. Only option is to write a program that implements drag-and-drop handler. See: Creating Context Menu Handlers: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platfor m/shell/programmersguide/shell_int/shell_int_extending/extensionhandlers/context menuhandlers.asp Creating Drag-and-Drop Handlers When a user right-clicks a Shell object to drag an object, a context menu is displayed when the user attempts to drop the object. The following illustration shows a typical drag-and-drop context menu.
