IDEA: Force Maximize and Right Click Run Line

(1/2) > >>

Chyndonax:
Two for the price of one. Hope that's OK.

First request. A Way to force any window to maximize. I looked for this awhile back but couldn't find it. It's probably included in some bloatware progaram but I would like it to be a discreet seperate process. Ideally it would be a very simple GUI with a list of windows or processes on one side and a maximize button on the other (or bottom or top).

Second is a right click menu item that will open a simple window similar to the run window in XP. It would only have to appear as an option when an executable is right clicked in Explorer. This way when I want to run a program with special paramater I can just right click on it and choose the new dialog. There's probably a registery hack to do this but maybe not.

Thanks.

there are some good "launch command line here" shell extensions which allow you to open a dos box in the directory that the app lives in, which is usually sufficient for what you are wanting to do.

but it's an interesting idea to have a right-click entry that basically let you type in commandline parameters (maybe with a history drop down box) and then ran the program (either in a dos box or not).  seems doable.

Try ExecParm (http://www.mainsoft.fr/Files/execparm.zip). It works.
