Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated You can add a batch file to your context menu via the following registry edit: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Run Batch script] @="&Run Batch script" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Run Batch script\command] @="\"H:\\BATCH_FILE_PATH\\context-batch.bat\" \"%1\"" Where "&Run Batch Script" is the what you would like to appear in the menu and the second part is the location of the script. To get a .bat file to google something is to just have it open "https://www.google.com/search?q=YOUR SEARCH HERE" in your choice of web browser, so bang this into .bat to google: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" https://google.com/search?q=hello You will just need to write the part that takes a file as input, gets it's name and googles it for you Ryzen 5 1500x, Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4, GA-AB350N, 16GB 1600Mhz, EVGA GTX 970, 250GB Samsung 960 Evo, 120GB Samsung 840 Evo, 1TB WD Green & 2TB Seagate Barracuda. 650w OCZ ZX & Cooler Master Elite 130.

Show/Hide File Extensions. -Download and install Autohotkey -Open Notepad -Copy and paste this code FileName=%1% FileName:=RegExReplace(FileName,"&","%26") FileName:=RegExReplace(FileName,"#","%23") SplitPath FileName,Name Run h t t p s:// www. google. com/ search?q=%Name% (You have to remove the spaces in Web address) -Save as "Google Search (Show File Extensions).ahk" -Close Notepad -Right-Click on it, Click Compile script. -Create a shortcut to that and remove the .exe from the shortcut; copy or move that to the "Send to" folder "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\" -Open Notepad -Copy and paste this code FileName=%1% FileName:=RegExReplace(FileName,"&","%26") FileName:=RegExReplace(FileName,"#","%23") SplitPath FileName,Name,Dir,Ext,NameNoExt If InStr(FileExist(FileName),"D") ;Dir?
