FindeXer Reg Hack. Closest I can get you to a shortcut key

This will show you how to underline the "X" in the view menu. Makes send key script or keyboard selection a little easier.

Final Result:

Using regedit find this key in the registry then add an "&" simple in front of the "X". Then kill/restart Explorer or reboot.

Evan, I think that's already been posted http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=36689

but, useful for those who don't know. ;)

If alianyn sees this or anyone talks with him. I've found the specific Api Functions that would help him with the hot key. Link to the MS page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646309.aspx

problem with RegisterHotKey() is that the hotkey will work even when there are no explorer windows open... the only thing you could would be something like Win+E, but that opens a new window with Finderex. Which is not that bad, now that I think about it :D

cool trick for the menu item, though! Alt-V -X-X is actually quite a fast shortcut

Couldn't you just use the unregister function every time Explorer is unloaded or would this be to heavy on resources?

That's what I thought! ;)

uh, dunno. But it sounds wrong to have a global shortcut for a local feature, that works even if the window is in the background, etc... :slant:
