By using a batch hybrid with .net or something else like js I would like to create a small pop up that looks similar to the context (right click) menu. The menu should be clickable and have a few basic functions like creating a new batch file, opening dostips.com or opening a specific folder. Does anyone have any ideas about how to do this I'm not very good at understanding the hybrids I've seen on other posts. (If anyone can explain how they work it would be nice.)
Thanks ~batchcc

Re: Context menu like pop-up with hybrid
An HTA hybrid should do what you're after. Aacini already wrote some examples.

Well, I added some comments but if you're not familiar with HTML, CSS, JavaScript I'm not sure they would be even helpful for you.
