AttrMenu - A free Shell Extension from MainSoft
-----------------------------------------------
** This new version works better under NT 4.0 **
NB: If you have installed the previous version of AttrMenu just copy
the DLL to the SHELLEXT directory while the Explorer is not running.
You may have noticed that the Explorer program in Microsoft Windows 95
(tm) doesn't display the folder's files attributes. You must open
the "properties" page to access, display and possibly change these
attributes.
AttrMenu is a shell extension for Windows 95 allowing to directly access
a file's attributes from its context menu (opened when right clicking on
the filename with the right mouse button). Four commands are added to the
context menu of any file:
Toggle Archive Attribute
Toggle Read-only Attribute
Toggle Hidden Attribute
Toggle System Attribute
These commands can be accessed from the "Attributes" popup menu appearing in
the file's context menu.
When the corresponding attribute is set, the corresponding menu item is
checked. To change the state of an attribute merely select the command
relative to that attribute.
This extension is not a definitive solution to the problem explained
above. However, until we find a more elegant one, AttrMenu will do the
job. At least you'll be able to quickly display the state of a single
file's attributes.
We first developed AttrMenu using the MFC. While not bringing significant
advantages, this solution produced a huge 140 KB Dll. So we switched back
to a SDK development and the Dll was reduced to a more acceptable size of
26 KB.
HOW TO INSTALL
--------------
Installation of this extension is easy. First, copy ATTRMENU.DLL and
ATTRMENU.INF to any directory. Open the Explorer and right-click on the
Setup Information file (ATTRMENU.INF). Choose the INSTALL command. When
you're done installing , you can delete the original files. They have
been copied to your SYSTEM\SHELLEXT directory. However, you should make a
BACKUP in case you uninstall the extension and want to re-install it
later. The files will be deleted when uninstalling.
HOW TO UNINSTALL
----------------
To Uninstall, right-click on ATTRMENU.INF and select the UNINSTALL command.
(NOTE: Install is not LFN-aware; it will not work if the files are copied
to a local directory with an LFN.)
Preferably, open the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs. In the
Install/Uninstall page, select Attributes Context Menu and click on
Add/Remove.
FREEWARE
--------
This software is freeware. You can copy it, give it to friends, upload it
to any server. It is prohibited to charge any fee for this software.
