Converting MS Explorer mouse into dos commands?


Question

I am looking for a trick or software to convert XP file management by mouse in MS-Explorer into dos statements.

The objective is to build a bat file that do the same as the mouse did in Explorer.

Example: copying a folder into another in Explorer with mouse drag and drop should generate the COPY or XCOPY equivalent statement, with the names of the directories, ...

Some suggestions....

You could develop batch files for this. (one for copy, one for

move, ...)

They could be placed in the "sendto" folder. But you would then have to ask for the target in the text-window.

Or you use windows scripting for displaying a list of alternatives and then you could choose what to do, either copy or move.

I think you could also develop complete new apps which would need to add some registry settings in order to create some drag and drop options. All in all a little complicated.

Best solution would be to simple open a command window and type the commands in ;)

Use an install repackager. There is one available on the Win2k CD in the VALUEADD folder to make an MSI, or you can use any other one including ones that come with Microsoft SMS and Novell Netware.
