WinXShell - a portable shell and zero dependencies for boot.wim,winre.wim

Can WinXshell open file location ?

if there is no ieframe.dll, will fix this function with WinXShell.lua+wxsStub.dll.

ieframe.dll already exists in system32 folder.
I use WinXShell.exe -winpe -keep_userprofile to start shell
however the "open file location" in context menu do nothing

Should I modify this?

Code: [Select]

--[[ add one more '-' to be '---', will enable this function
function do_ocf(lnkfile, realfile) -- handle open containing folder menu
  -- local path = realfile:match('(.+)\\')
  -- app:run('cmd', '/k echo ' .. path)
  app:run('X:\\Progra~1\\TotalCommander\\TOTALCMD64.exe', '/O /T /A \"' .. realfile .. '\"')

improve:EASY TO USE -- just run with '-winpe' or '-wes' or '-daemon' will do next actions auto with WinXShell.lua(can customize by everyone)
    * handle OpenContainingFolder context menu of shortcuts, if there is no ieframe.dll

Oh, if there is ieframe.dll, the function should work, but I will use explorer.exe' function, and nothing because explorer.exe is not exist.


for make the fix work even ieframe.dll exists, you need modify regist_shortcut_ocf()

Code: [Select]

function regist_shortcut_ocf() -- handle shortcut's OpenContainingFolder menu
    if not is_x then return end
    if File.exists('X:\\Windows\\System32\\ieframe.dll') then return end

delete it, or add "--" to comment out the check.

function regist_shortcut_ocf() -- handle shortcut's OpenContainingFolder menu
    if not is_x then return end
    -- if File.exists('X:\\Windows\\System32\\ieframe.dll') then return end

then I will open WinXShell.exe to the containing folder, but can't select the file.

if you are using 3rd file explorer, then you need modify do_ocf() function, WinXShell.exe will pass the lnkfile name, and targetfile of the shortcut,
you can run the 3rd file explorer with suitable parameters.

Hi and thanks for reply.
actually it works as expected (just hold the shift key when you right click on a link file)

I did as you said but "open file location" is now missing from context menu

function regist_shortcut_ocf() -- handle shortcut's OpenContainingFolder menu
    if not is_x then return end
    -- if File.exists('X:\\Windows\\System32\\ieframe.dll') then return end

Hi, 

It works, but not as my expected.

when there is no ieframe.dll, winxshell.exe will disable the origin one:

Code: [Select]

    reg_write([[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu]], '', 'disable-{37ea3a21-7493-4208-a011-7f9ea79ce9f5}')

but add new one(wxsStub.dll):

Code: [Select]

    reg_write([[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu_wxsStub]], '', '{B1FD8E8F-DC08-41BC-AF14-AAC87FE3073B}')

also add new one(wxsStub.dll to handle shortcuts' property "open file location")

Code: [Select]

    reg_write([[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers\wxsStub]], '', '{B1FD8E8F-DC08-41BC-AF14-AAC87FE3073B}')

and add a hide one( hold the shift key menu because have "Extended" key):

Code: [Select]

    reg_write([[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shell\OpenContainingFolderMenu_wxsStub]], '', 'Open Containing Folder Menu Wrap')

the origin "open file location" should be display, when you click this, it will call the hidden one -- 'Open Containing Folder Menu Wrap'.

so it will work without hold shift key...

I tested with origin winre.wim and it works without holding shift key.

I don't know why your needs shift key.

would you please upload yours [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile] registy?

or fix it in your enviroment with(WinXShell.lua):

-- ren #MUIVerb key to MUIVerb to show "open file location" than 'Open Containing Folder Menu Wrap'
-- this #comment out, because there no need have two same menu
    reg_write([[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shell\OpenContainingFolderMenu_wxsStub]], 'MUIVerb', '@shell32.dll,-1033')
-- remove Extended key, for always show
--    reg_write([[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shell\OpenContainingFolderMenu_wxsStub]], 'Extended', '')

would you please upload yours [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile] registy?

sure, of course

I'll try the fix, thanks

lnkfile.reg is right.

so I thoght there must be wrong in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B1FD8E8F-DC08-41BC-AF14-AAC87FE3073B}

and I found out it point to wxsStub.dll in x86(I tested x64, and it is right), it should be wxsStub32.dll.

Code: [Select]

    local stub_dll = 'wxsStub.dll'
    if not ARCH == 'x64' then stub_dll = 'wxsStub32.dll' end
    reg_write([[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B1FD8E8F-DC08-41BC-AF14-AAC87FE3073B}\InProcServer32]], '', app_path .. '\\' .. stub_dll)

and I tested ARCH is right, is "x86", and finally found I make a stupid code.

it should be

if not (ARCH == 'x64') then ...

not ARCH == 'x64' => (not ARCH) == 'x64' => false == 'x64', this one is never be true, so the stub_dll always be 'wxsStub.dll'.

Win10(1709) pe x86, Xyplorer set as file explorer

Is there possibly a way for winxshell along with xyplorer to handle "browse to" "open containing folder" and "open file location"?

"browse to" n "open file location" work now via wxstub+NewOpenDlg patch, uses built in explorer instead of xyplorer which is fine for my needs

possible to control "open containing folder" behavior?

Can you please provide command for classic shell computer icon to open NewOpenDlg

Thanks.

Hi, osninja

Win10(1709) pe x86, Xyplorer set as file explorer

Yes. it is possible.

"open containing folder" and "open file location"

as you use x86 PE, first follow the Reply #267 to fix.

change line #211 in WinXShell.lua to:

if ARCH ~= 'x64' then stub_dll = 'wxsStub32.dll' end

now the open containing folder will redirect to WinXShell.exe.
then enable do_ocf() function with next code line #17 in WinXShell.lua (Reply #262):

--- [[ add one more '-' to be '---', will enable this function
function do_ocf(lnkfile, realfile) -- handle open containing folder menu
  -- local path = realfile:match('(.+)\\')
  -- app:run('cmd', '/k echo ' .. path)
  -- totalcmd
  -- app:run('X:\\Progra~1\\TotalCommander\\TOTALCMD64.exe', '/O /T /A \"' .. realfile .. '\"')
  -- XYplorer
  app:run('X:\\Progra~1\\XYplorer\\XYplorer.exe', '/select=\"' .. realfile .. '\"')
end
--]]

"browse to"
would you post a picture for this? I don't where is the menu.
Folder's right context menu?

modify data in [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell], maybe give you the result.

a bug!
can't reopen minimized window on taskbar If it has child window. like this:



now press win+d shortcut and try to open notepad form taskbar. you can't!

Thanks to report the bug.

I will confirm it, but fix will be next month.

sry i meant "browse..." for Run dialog, and taskmgr.exe, that works now, uses builtin NewOpenDlg

"open file location" from context menu n properties dialog also working, uses xyplorer

"open containing folder" not working



Edit: Might b the expected behavior?  i thought it would handle open file location n open containing folder globally but trying to open file location of process in task manager does nothing n as stated previously open containing folder does nothing fom inside 3rd party search program

Does anyone have this problem with AOMEI Partition Assistant?
the program cannot be closed from taskbar nor close button
(winpe 10)

Is there somewhere that I can do all the possible config settings. Like a sample with every configuration?

I miss it for long time. I'm working on new version now, I will upload one this weekend about all config items, but every item's mean in English will be later.

the notepad can be switched/bring to front by taskmgr.

Awesome looking forward to it.

I will use translate. I would like to get it working in XPE with windows 10 look and feel. As well as replace explorer.
