For this post, I really have two questions:

1) How can I make it so that when I right click a file (such as a .txt or other extension), I have an option such as "Edit with MyProgram"?

2) When the user clicks "Edit with MyProgram", how do I get the info of which file they are trying to open, for example, the name of the file.

Thanks Smile

Do you mean in the context menu of Windows? If so, I do have a way.
I can make you a custom DLL (the only one I know how to make Smile

) that
will allow you to add to the context menu of Windows. You can then add
your own commands to the context menu that will run a VDS program.

You should then be able to get the file info from using the @file()
function.

If you would like that, you can send me an email.

Yes, like when you right-click on a file in explorer...

I saw a way with the registry a long time ago, maybe on the old board, I don't know where it is...

Here's a thread where I learned some reg/menu stuff
(among other things) at another site. There's several
pages in the thread...
