[users] template on Explorer context menu?
Say ... On M$-Windows (e.g. WinXP), is there a way to add a certain OO.o *template* to the Explorer context menu? For instance, I currently have something like: Right-Click -New ... -OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet -OpenOffice.org Text document ... I'd like to be able to do: Right-Click -New -OpenOffice.org MyEnvelope or -OpenOffice.org MyPersonalLetter or -OpenOffice.org MyFunctionalSpec The benefit is that it would bypass the step of creating a new OpenOffice.org Text document, only to turn around and, in Writer, do File-New-Templates and Documents-Templates-MyEnvelope etc, leaving an empty New OpenOffice.org Text document.odt in the folder. Just popped into my head, and seemed like a worthwhile idea. Can anybody think of a way to do this? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would ask a similar question on a windows forum (make sure to include the OS and version your using). /paul -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 - Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.

The information appears to be deep in the registry, and I don't suggest that you tinker with it.

There are some workarounds: o Put copies of the templates, or shortcuts to them, or a folder of them, or a shortcut to such a folder, on your desktop. Use these as necessary. (If you cannot see the desktop, or even if you can, use XP's Desktop toolbar: the best thing since sliced bread!) o Pick your most frequently used template and set it as default in each component of OpenOffice. To do this, use File | Templates | Organize... | (select) | Commands | Set As Default Template. Then you can use your existing links. I trust this helps.
