Looking for an Explore here add-in.

I am looking for an add-in that allows my to right click on a file in
the Solution Explorer, and it would open the Explorer window where this
file lives.

I want that functionality and just that (my vs.ide is bloated enough as
it is). Can't seem to find it.

Thanks

Path" and paste in explorer?

Add a new external tool to the IDE with following properties:

Name: Windows Explorer
Command: explorer.exe
Arguments: /e,$(ItemDir)

Now you can select an item of your project and select "Windows Explorer"
from the Tools menu. Enjoy :)

I think you are missing the point of the of an Add-in: that is to make
my life easier, reduce mouse clicks and keyboard action.

Has been like that since my first encounter with Windows so many years ago.
By the way Google is my friend :)

I personally used the $(SolutionDir) variable.

Google Schmoogle. If searching with generic terms such as the word
'arguement' nothing can be found unless it is a stroke of luck or somebody
responds with a referral to a document. Thanks Jason.

Hello, I recently bought a text on php scripting, and was trying to write basic shopping example to explore the langauage. I would like to achieve a site which allowed the user click one or two buttons. And we kept a count of number of hits. My thought was to use the $_SESSION tool to store the number of clicks, and when the user clicked the grey submit buttton. The $_Session values would be passed to the another php script.

I'm looking for a good logging library that is easy to use, and well documented. I've already looked at log4cxx, log4cplus, and Log4cpp. Either I couldn't find the documentation, or I couldn't figure out how to get them to work with my code. Does any one know of a good logging library that is easy to use, easy to add to an existing project, and that is well documented.

Hello, I'm looking for a script that will be javascript/php compatible that will take existing images from a database and will allow editing/removing/adding new images. If JS is on then it should show images that you just uploaded using AJAX I guess and if JS is off, it should be able to remove existing images and add new ones... a progress bar would be really nice. If anybody knows of such a script or a similar one please help :) thanks!

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
