Hello,
Does someone know how to add functionality to Windows Explorer? I have several scripts that I want to be available through the menu or a toolbar. Moreover, it would be nice if those scripts would be aware of the current folder. Like I have a script to return Folder Sizes. Windows Explorer shows only file sizes. It is helpful to a DBA to see what are the Data folders sizes or usder shares sizes without having to open properties of each folder. Or I would like to open Command Prompt from the Explorer so it would open on the current directory.
I do know and use Add/Remove Snap-in for MMC, but explorer is not a snap-in.
I also know how to customize customize a toolbar, but I can only select from available buttons. Maybe someone knows how I can add a button to the list that will call my program?
View-Choose Details may add more fields to details. It is not mean.
I can run cmd <myfolderpath> to open cmd in the particular folder, but again, I would like to do it from the Explorer.
Any advice?

I'd check more on programming Windows sites instead of here. Mostly SQL Server guys here, not as many programmers.

Steve, thanks!
The program in the article you pointed to uses Windows Shell Extensions. This looks like what I need. I have to read more on that.
