Mucho tiempo intenté programar esta utilidad porque siempre la necesité y Microsoft nunca la incluyó.
Muchas gracias por hacerlo bien y hacerlo facil!!!!

Hi.
First of all GREAT SCRIPT! Thanks for posting it.
I was wondering if this shell extension can be modified to copy multiple attributes in explorer like, file location, name, file type, date modified at once, then I can paste all the info into a spreadsheet into cells.
So I could get a result in my spreadsheet like this (examaple):
Filename | File Type | Date Modified | File Path
BigBox.dwg AutoCAD 12/12/2009 c:\drawings\files\boxes
SmallBox.dwg AutoCAD 10/12/2009 c:\drawings\files\boxes
BlueBoxes.dwg AutoCAD 10/12/2009 c:\drawings\files\boxes
(Sorry this text sample doesn't illustrate the output very well but each attribute for an item would have to paste into the next cell.)
I have directories I have to put an archive list together for and I am looking for a solution. Your script has helped me already but I was wondering if it can do multiple items at once.
Thanks VERY MUCH!

I recently bought a new windows system and unfortunately I was stuck with Windows Vista. So I attempt to register this DLL utility via a command line and no luck. A bit of research and find that I must use an 'elevated command prompt'. This can be done via a right-mouse-click on the 'Command Prompt' menu entry and selecting 'Run as administrator'.
This is not a reflection of the usefulness of this app, in fact it is great. I just thought I'd share this tip with those that might want to run this app on Windows Vista.

In previous versions of Windows you also need administrator permissions to register COM objects. The thing is that in Vista you don't get these by default.

I can't get this to work on a Vista 64 machine, even though I registered it with elevated privilege.
Does it work under Vista 64? I sure hope so; this is my pet shell extension, a MUST HAVE!

It's compiled as 32-bit dll, so it won't work with 64-bit explorer. I really need to take some time and build it newly for vista sometime.

I'd like to pass the string of names/paths as
input (multiple params) to CMDline apps or scripts, that aren't able to receive arguments from the shell, as static items in right-click
context menu.
But unfortunately my skill as coder is unsufficient to resolve this challenging task...
any precious hints?
Thank in advance,

Hello,
this nice extension would help me even better if it would be possible to combine both the file name and the location in to one string. So, the option Copy location and file would return for instance C:\testflr\test.txt as one string on the clipboard. Any ideas how to achieve this?

Best thing since Mom's Apple Pie! And it works great on XP Pro with SP 2.
I don't see any of the problems reported earlier (truncated text) so you must have fixed it in the current release.

Hi,
Great sample code. Unfortunately, how to get *.lnk (shortcut) file path. Everytime I tried to copy shortcut file path, what i get is the target path and not the shortcut file itself.

Hi,
your program is a very cool sample for shell extensions.
Sadly does it not work for me. When I run the debugger and use explorer.exe as the attached application I can trace the code and the whole path is copied into the clipboard.
When I simply right-click in the explorer on a file and select "Copy File Path" or "Copy File Name" in the pop-up menu, only the first character of the intended result-string is copied into the clipboard.
Has you or someone else experienced this?

Hi Bernhard,
I am also facing the same problem. Somehow only first character is copied to the clipboard. I am using W2K professional edition as OS. Does it have to do anything with the OS? Can you please tell how to debug the dll? I attached explorer.exe but am not able to debug it, it simply does not go into the debug mode! Your help would be appricated.
Thanks and regards,
Mandar

Hi Mandar,
I set the project up to a debug configuration, set a breakpiont and press F10. In the upcoming dialog asking for the program to attach the DLL to, I search for Explorer.exe in C:\winnt and press OK.
Now I press F5 and VS begins to start the Explorer and runs it. When I rightclick a file and I set my breakpoint right VS reaches the breakpoint and I can step through the code.
To the problem with the one character...I don't pass the result of GlobalLock(...) to the function working with the string but the original pointer. I don't know what it's good or bad for, but it works.
Best,
Bernhard

Hi,
Yesterday I had posted a query on how to debug the dll ... but got the solution by following links in this article itself ... key to it is "DesktopProcess" DWORD in appropriate registry key with value 1.
Now regarding the main problem of whole text not getting copied. On debugging the application I realized that the clipboard indeed has the whole string copied onto it. The problem is not with the application but the build of the application. Build the dll as non-unicode and it just works out fine. 
One can trace this behaviour by checking the memory contents at address contained in pCom variable. Use the "Memory" window in VC for the same. Take example of "D:\". In non-Unicode it stored in memory as, "44 3A 5C" But in unicode it is stored as "44 00 3A 00 5C 00" ... notice the doubling of length and the "00" that appear due to Unicode string. The OS however treats this as a non-Unicode string and interprets it as D \0 : \0 \ \0 ... 6 characters in place of 3. Notice how 00 in Unicode is being mis-interpreted as \0. Hence though clipboard contains the correct unicode data, it is being wrongly interpreted during paste operation. If the clipboard uses strcpy to do pasting operation, it will stop at first '\0' it encounters. Hence only first character 'D' will be pasted, although the whole path is present on clipboard in memory! 
Solution: Build the dll in non-Unicode version and see it working just as expected!
Regards,
Mandar

Hi, I was trying to copy/move some file from Temporary Internet Files to some other directory. In my application I used function MoveFile("....\\Temporary Internet Files\\Banner.gif","....Cat.gif") but it doesn't work.
With some other directories it works fine. Why is Temporary Internet Files dir so special, and what function will nicely move file from Temp... to some other dir???
Please, help!!!
thanks.

This is a nice idea! It will definitely come in handy.

I got a note from someone who had a compilation error. If you encounter this, change line 178 in CopyLocationShl.cpp from:
clipBuffer += "\r\n";
to:
clipBuffer += _T("\r\n");
Another thing. You have to have administrative rights to run regsvr32.exe on Windows NT. I don't know how to work around this, if you have a clue, drop me a line
