dear nazeer

he has not mentioned a particular rate. when asked, he mentioned for us to give our rates and then he would loojk and tell us. so we will have to take a call on it ourselves and then proceed. kumaraswamy is very difficult to reach as he is in meetings or on the move most of the time.

Create a Context Menu Item to Copy a List of Files to the Clipboard in
Windows 7 / Vista / XP

If you’ve ever needed to create a list of files in a directory, you’ve
likely used a command from the prompt to pipe the directory listing
into a file…
but what if you could simply right-click on or in any folder and copy
a list of the files to the clipboard?

With some registry hacking and command line utilities, we can do just
that… and we can even hide the menu item behind the Shift right-click
menu so it doesn’t
waste space unless you need to use it.

Using the Menu Item

You can hold down Shift and right-click inside any folder, including
the Desktop, and you’ll see the new “Copy List to Clipboard” item.
You can also hold down the shift key and right-click on a folder,
where you’ll also see the “Copy List to Clipboard” menu item:

Once you use the menu item, you should now have a list of files on the
clipboard:

You’ll notice it’s a simple file list, there’s no file size or any
other information displayed. You could modify the registry hack to
eliminate the /b switch
if you wanted to get the rest of the information.

How it Works

We’re actually doing here is creating a menu item that opens a command
prompt, runs the dir /b command (for a clean directory listing), and
then pipes that
into the clip.exe utility built into Windows 7 and Vista.

First we browse down to the following registry key:

block quote
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell

block quote end

We created the copylist key, and then the command key underneath that.
The default value for copylist is set to “Copy List to Clipboard”, and
then we set
the default key for command to our command line: (Updated, Thanks
Todd
!)

block quote
cmd /c dir “%1″ /b /a:-d /o:n | clip

block quote end

You could use the same thing from a command prompt, or in your own
scripts… just replace %1 with the directory you are trying to get a
listing of.

Note: If you are using Windows XP, you can
download clip.exe from Microsoft.
Just save the file in the Windows directory and the rest of the hack
should work for you.

Create a Context Menu Item to Copy a Text File To the Clipboard in
Windows 7 / Vista / XP

If you are the type of person that likes to keep a lot of information
stored in text-format files on your drive, you’ve probably encountered
a scenario
where you want to copy that information to the clipboard… so you open
the file in notepad, select all, then copy to the clipboard. What if
you could do
it with a simple context menu item instead?

Using a little registry hacking and the clip.exe utility built into
Windows 7 and Vista, we can do just that, and we can even hide it
behind the Shift +
Right-Click menu so that it won’t waste space on the menu unless you
hold down the shift key.

Using the Copy to Clipboard Hack

Simply hold down the Shift key and right-click on a text file, and
you’ll see a new item for “Copy to Clipboard”:

Now you’ll have the information on the clipboard for easy pasting into
whatever application you’d like:

Note: If you are using Windows XP, you can
download clip.exe from Microsoft.
Just save the file in the Windows directory and the rest of the hack
should work for you.

Manual Registry Hack (for .txt files)

Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then
browse down to the following key:

block quote
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell

block quote end

Underneath each file type in the registry (for instance txtfile),
there is a shell key with a list of actions under it. We’ll create a
new key called “copytoclip”,
and then a key under it called “command”. Set the default value of
“copytoclip” to something useful like “Copy Contents to Clipboard”,
and then set the
default value of “command” to the following:

block quote
cmd /c clip < “%1″

block quote end

What we’re doing is running a command prompt, and then piping the file
into the clip.exe utility. You could do the same thing from the
command prompt, or
in a script.

You could duplicate this same tweak for other file types, such as html
or code files, by finding their key in the registry and adding the
same menu items.
