JIMW Given some of the other comments and the fact that I personally am upset with what has happened here - in my opinion, taking a simple Unix command, packaging it in a GUI, then charging what many feel is an outrageous price for such a simple product and work, which only an uninformed person might be likely to purchase, I have decided to publish and explain the script used for this operation as used in "On My Command" so that other users can get a feel for what this publisher has done. Here is the "On My Command" script: ln -s __OBJ_PATH__ __DLG_CHOOSE_FOLDER_PATH__ That's it. Let me explain it. "ln" is the Unix command "link". It creates a link to a file. "-s" is a modifier. It tells the command to create a symbolic link. "__OBJ_PATH" is "On My Command" shorthand for the path of the file that you want to create the link from - the file you have selected. "__DLG-CHOOSE_FOLDER-PATH__" brings up a dialog box from a system library allowing you to select where you want the link to be placed - the destination of the link. That is the entire program. All this developer did is essentially package this into a stand-alone contextual menu product that does this single thing for which he want $12. Since he has written other contextual menu products he most likely recycled previously written code for the contextual menu "wrapper" and just substituted the Unix command and a library call similar to what was used in "On My Command." There is no reason it should not work as advertised and work just fine. I am sure it will save space and do all the things it is purported to do. The only issue is having the audacity to charge such a fee for something so simple that is widely available for free that is already available on everyones machine in "terminal mode" if they care to take a few minutes to learn a simple Unix command: ln -s existingfile directory So I have said my piece, you are informed, and free to make your choices.
