Hi!

I tried customizing my right click menus. I managed to insert an extra menu to start one of my own applications.

But when I select more than one file and try to start the application it starts a copy of it for every selected file.... I would like it to start one single copy and hand over each filename as parameters. Kind of like when you have the compress file option in the Right Click menu. It compresses all the files into one archive and doesn't make a different archive for every file.

Thx for your help.

Windows normally opens a seperate window for each call, which is what you're doing. (Think along the lines of a new window appearing in IE). Certain apps may be able to handle "seperate panes" within the main window (kinda like tabbed browsers), but I believe part of it depends on the program.

Now, there may be some utility programs that can either do what you want or get real close. You can look at the software sections of www.pcworld.com, www.pcmagazine.com, and www.tucows.com. Here's a few other links I found that may help you:
