TC suggestions (English) • Re: Follow through lnk files behaviour of TC Viewer

You can view it with Quick View. Press Ctrl+Q or Ctrl+Shift+Q.

That still shows the content of the .lnk file, not the file the link is pointing to. EDIT - see following posts...

You can make a Registry setting like this:

Code:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Lister][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Lister\command]@="C:\\totalcmd\\TOTALCMD64.EXE /s=l \"%1\""

This will put an "Open with lister" in the context menu - and show the linked file, not the .lnk file.

Change the path to TC to your actual path. .reg file can be downloaded here: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/OpenWithLister.reg

Unfortunately the same trick cannot be used in for example a button:

Code:

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=L%P%Nwcmicons.dll,27Open file with stand-alone Lister-1

Code:

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATAcm_List /T2wcmicons.dll,27Open file with Lister - in Binary mode-1

Code:

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA%COMSPEC% /Cstart "" %|COMMANDER_EXE| /S=L %P%Nwcmicons.dll,27Open file with Lister - via cmd.exe-1

They will all open the .lnk file
