David's Shell Extensions V1.0
Introduction
-----
DSHELLEX is a small shell extension (DLL) that allows the user to run a DOS session
by right clicking on a directory in explorer and selecting "dos prompt".
It also allows the user to rename(or copy) a group of files with a wildcard prompt
for example *.old or *.html.
In Summary
1) select 2 or more files, right click select "group rename" to rename or
copy the selected files.
2) click a directory and select "dos prompt" to run a DOS prompt in that dir,
3) hold the shift key while right clicking a directory to configure DOS
prompt settings
DSHELLEX is public domain in THIS version, future versions may be shareware,
it can be freely distributed, provided the three files dshellex.dll,
dshellex.inf, readme.txt are all included and unmodified.
Install/Uninstall
-----------------
To install right click dshellex.inf and select install.
Windows may prompt for a setup disk, just browse to the folder where you
extracted the files (where the INF file is)
To Remove open the windows control panel, select add/remove programs
and then select "David's Shell Extensions" in the list of uninstallable programs
Notes
-----
The DOS Prompt feature actually runs a selected PIF file. The first time it is
used the program will prompt for the PIF file to use as a default. This can
later be changed by holding down the shift key while right clicking a directory
If the PIF file is set to windowed/full screen then that is what will run.
If the PIF file is set to run in a particular directory then DSHELLEX will
be unable to run it in the requested directory, the PIF settings take priority.
