Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Is it possible to hide the Dos window which pops up for a second?

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

What should I add to the following command (in shortcuts.xml) so that Notepad++ would open the containing folder and also select the current file? <Command name="Open containing folder" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">explorer $(CURRENT_DIRECTO...

Thanks again for your help. It's been a pleasure.

Hello, I use WinRar. In Options > Settings > Integration > User defined archive extensions, I've associated XPI and JA files (Firefox add-ons and omni.ja) with the program. I would like to add the following entries to Windows Explorer's context menu: 1) Compress to "FileName.xpi" 2) Compre...
