 :up: Running 100%, knowledge is king.
Much appreciated skwire.

I'm trying to add a context entry to a selected folder which will open a program's GUI.
The program is a standalone named FolderTimeUpdate (NirSoft), 120 KB.

It's easy enough via the Registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Folder Time\command
 and
F:\\Portable\\FolderTimeUpdate+\\FolderTimeUpdate.exe \"%1\"
It works but that gets me nowhere because the actual folder path is not selected. I must still drag & drop the folder onto the opened GUI.

Is this an impossible action or should I change the command key?
Any tips most welcome.

W7 64-bit unique and very freaky, anything written for XP and/or Vista 64-bit no guarantee it will run under W7 64-bit. As I'm a context maniac I'm forever evaluating any such applications and most of the time it fails. The list is veeeery long. Sad to say but most programmers since XP days gave up and their hard work changed to shelfware. Iconoid such an example but Highrez managed to convert it successfully to W7 64-bit.
I did nothing special to enable Files 2 Folder to run so neatly although I've disabled UAC (permanently) and I've set all/everything to classic mode. With other words any available W7 "cute" options tweaked out completely. My desktop seldom with less than 200 icons, etc but since Files 2 Folder it improved. Using a dual monitor setup (21" & 25.5") it can become very busy.
I am running as admin but my security sector loaded above normal. To play with context options very risky because they have impact on each other and can really mess around within the registry.
Wish I could be of more assistance but at this stage I'm very thankful that Files 2 Folder such a breakthrough.

I retract all I've said, it is a small masterpiece! :Thmbsup:
Another prog that is 100% W7 64-bit compatible, running fine in all aspects.
Must have been finger trouble on my side.

mateek, re 64-bit -  I pushed my luck and although it installed as advised I receive a pop-up "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel".
This happens with any file/s selected.
I love the concept but it seems that 64-bit again losing out. Ever since upgrading to W7 Pro 64-bit any context prog a challenge. The program writers will most probably know the reasons.
