How to Add "Open File Location" in Right-Click menu of a shortcut in Windows XP?


Windows Vista and Windows 7 include the Open file location context menu item for Shortcuts, which help you quickly open the target folder of a shortcut. In Windows XP, it takes four mouse clicks to accomplish the task. To open the target folder of a shortcut in Windows XP, you need to right-click on the shortcut file, click Properties and click the Find Target button to open the parent folder of the target file or folder.
And an additional mouse click is needed to close the Shortcut Properties dialog.
You can add the Open file location feature in Windows XP (similar to what you have in Windows Vista) using one of the two methods. Method 1 uses a .REG file, and Method 2 uses a VBScript that I wrote. No additional shell extensions are needed!

Process:

 Installation.

1.Download registry file "open file location" from here.
2.Open it.
3.All work has done.You have added  "Open file location" option in right-click menu of a shortcut.Enjoy.

Uninstallation.

1.Download registry file "uninstall Open file location" from here.
2.Open it.
3.Un-installation is complete.
