Create a shortcut in the suitable place (say, on your desktop) by right-clicking and selecting New | Shortcut.

Put your command line in the “Type the location…” box.

Type an appropriate name for the shortcut. Click Finish.

Right-click the shortcut icon, from pop-up menu choose Properties, then from Run drop-down box select Minimize. You can also change shortcut icon clicking “Change Icon” button and navigating to C:Windowssystem32Shell32.dll or another icon container.

I understand that method… but this command string is called from the context menu item via the registry.

The reg entry that generates the context menu item is:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInternetShortcutshellOpenSCinIE_with_BAT]
@=”Open in &IE”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInternetShortcutshellOpenSCinIE_with_BATcommand]
@=””C:WinAppsCommInternetUtilsIE_2_OpenOpenSCinIE.bat” “%1″”

And the string mentioned initially is the only command in the bat file.

In your .bat file add START /MIN command in the beginning of the command line:

START /MIN cscript.exe “C:WinAppsCommInternetUtilsIE_2_OpenOpenSCinIE.vbs” %1

Also edited by HansV to replace % with [%] to get rid of duplication

Edited by Bigaldoc to make the post number live. (Adding square brackets and a colon is all it takes.) You can do it by highlighting the post number.[/size]

I’ve been using the script Jefferson uploaded post 565544 to add “Open in IR” to the context menu if you use another browser as default.

Works great.

It opens up a command window, executing

cscript.exe “C:WinAppsCommInternetUtilsIE_2_OpenOpenSCinIE.vbs” %1

Is there any “flag” that would make that window run “minimized” or hidden?

PS — Thanks Jefferson….

And I don’t know what else is wrong with your post. I don’t think my EDIT caused your repeat text. Whassup do ya think, Chuck?

Edited. Thanks for the tutorial, Hans! (following post).

The %1 causes text to be duplicated each time the post is edited. I got rid of the problem by using [%] tags in both posts that use %.
