Finished Programs / DONE: Right-Click Menu Create Folder with Enhancements

Right-Click Menu Create Folder with Enhancements

I would like to have a new Windows Explorer right-click menu item that does the following:

Ask for the new folder name
Create that new folder under the current folder
Change to the newly created subfolder
Create an empty text file named Url.txt
Open the newly created empty text file with Notepad or the associated app for .txt files.

I copy and paste a website url into the empty text file and save it.

When I find new software I like, I save the file(s) as well as the url where I found it for
later reference.

This is a before and after folder-file listing to show what I mean.

Before:

C:\Top Folder\
  C:\Top Folder\Subfolder One\
    C:\Top Folder\Subfolder One\Url.txt

After:

C:\Top Folder\
  C:\Top Folder\Subfolder One\
    C:\Top Folder\Subfolder One\Url.txt
  C:\Top Folder\Subfolder Two\
    C:\Top Folder\Subfolder Two\Url.txt

I would right-click while in Top Folder and create the new Subfolder Two
with an empty Url.txt file opened in Notepad etc.

Currently I use a MS-DOS batch file within my Sendto folder to accomplish
this task, but it has a few drawbacks which the new software would cure.
This is my Batch file in case that will help.

C:\Documents and Settings\Userid\SendTo contains a shortcut to a batch file.

NewFold.bat

@echo off

:: The parameter %1 contains the path from the SendTo command
:: The For command extracts the Drive Letter (C:) from the path

Set Var=%1%
For %%i in ("%Var%") Do Set dl=%%~di

%dl%
cd %1

echo.
:folder
set folder=
set /P folder=Enter New Folder Name: %=%
if "%folder%"=="" goto folder

if not exist "%folder%" md "%folder%"

cd "%folder%"

start /max %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,%Var%\%folder%

if not exist Url.txt copy nul Url.txt >nul
start /max notepad.exe Url.txt

Exit

My system is running Windows XP SP3.

UrlSnooper / Can't Enter License Key

« on: February 25, 2009, 12:14 PM »

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling URL Snooper 2 Ver 2.22.02 several times and I can't get it to stay up long enough to enter the Help menu.

When it first started, it autodetected what appeared to be the correct device. I started the software again and it doesn't response when I click on the menu items. It hangs for a few seconds and proceeds to shutdown. It produces the license key message, but how can I enter it when it won't allow me into help?

I am attaching a screen capture.
