watching the George Carlin Biography vid made by A&E, back in 2002 or so.

the man has been working for 40 years by that time, and yet it's 5 minutes in and they show the SAME video of him telling a joke ("...religion has actually CONVINCED people that there's an invisible man...") for the THIRD time already.

while pondering the nature of language on 3 hours of sleep, i accidentally got the "kanigget" joke from the Holy Grail (one of the Frenchman's taunts)... now wondering whether the pythons were this subtle, or this was accidental, or i'm just incredibly dense and everyone else has known this for years.

haven't done this in a while, so took a bit to remember the trick...

goal: open containing folder in CMD from file context menu (i already have "open with CMD" as a folder option, but going up a level and right-clicking on the folder is too much effort)

limitations: WinXP, extreme laziness. so anything requiring more than the absolute minimum of effort is right out.


solution:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\OpenWithCMD\command]
@="cmd.exe /K \"cd \"%~dp1\"\""

%~d1 = extract the drive portion of the first parameter (e.g. "c:")
%~p1 = extract the path portion of the first parameter (e.g. "\windows\desktop\")
(the options may be combined)

cmd /K opens a new shell and executes the specified command, then leaves it open (/C does the same but then closes the shell, which would be rather counter-productive)

if you don't know your registry - "HKCR\*" references all file types, and "shell\[action name]\command" contains the command to execute, with [action name] appearing in the windows context menu.

curious issue: this shows a "The system cannot find the path specified." in the resulting window (but then switches to the appropriate folder anyway). will diagnose later.

note: due to the way windows handles shortcuts, doing this on a shortcut will open the folder containing the target file, not the folder containing the shortcut. i'm pretty sure there's a way to get around this, but as this is desired behavior anyway am too lazy to research it now.
