pass a file to command prompt by OpenWith dropdown menu

97 Views Asked by At

Well, There is an application called QRCP which can share files through LAN by Qr Code. It uses a command in cmd to share the file:

qrcp help

I want to add this to SendTo dropdown menu, but the problem is I can't pass it the file that I want to share.

I need something like this:

shortcut

Which I could pass the file location with %1 and the final command should be like
qrcp send "D:\Program Files\file.exe"

But it seems it's not how it works!

Here is an example that I tried on my side.

This batch file can create a shortcut on SendTo Folder and may be can do the trick for you too , just change the path of QRCP on your side :


@echo off
Title QRCP Batch File
REM Create a shortcut on SendTo Folder
REM "Call :CreateShortcut_SendTo" - This command calls the CreateShortcut_SendTo subroutine,
REM which creates a shortcut in the SendTo folder that can be used to easily execute the script.
Call :CreateShortcut_SendTo
REM This command sets the QRCP_Path variable to the location of the QRCP.exe file in the same directory as the batch file.
Set QRCP_Path="%~dp0QRCP.exe"
Set FilePath=%1

If "%FilePath%" == "" (
    Color 0C & echo No File was passed throw this Program, Exiting ... & Timeout /T 5 /NoBreak>nul & Exit
)

%QRCP_Path% %1
echo File %1 passed to QRCP
Exit /B

Powershell -Command "If (Test-Path '%Appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\%~n0.lnk') { Remove-Item '%Appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\%~n0.lnk' }"

$s.Save()"
Exit /B
