Hi there,
I can't quite get my head around this script.
I see that files/folders/urls are added to a menu with the hotkey - but what purpose does this serve?
Do I need to add paths to text documents within the script?
Please enlighten me ;)

hey. yea i didnt explain it too well :D the idea was that you just highlight text anywhere in windows (text you might get from an email, on a website, in a txt file etc) and if there were any url's or files/folders in the text, they would show in the list and be launch-able.
usually url's in an email would be clickable anyway so this is not needed as much, but if someone sent you 10 urls this would be useful since you could highlight the text once, then use the alt+shift hotkey to bring up the same menu, instead of having to switch back to your email app 10 times
that explains it!
thanks very much :)
usage
paths in your user folder can be added like this:
\Documents\file.txtfull paths can also have quotes on either side
"C:\Users\dave\Documents\file.txt"
