By making a shortcut of your batch file in the "send to" menu it will pass to %1 but it passes the complete path. Do you know of any way to pass just the folder name? Cheers. C. Hi,

But good idea there :) @Nikhil ... oh sure, it would be the same way, just write 10 lines in the batch file instead of one and it works, alternatively if you are using firefox, you can change your options to load a bunch of bookmarks on start up. @Hypnos - oh yeah, you always have that option, btw, I use PC @ office, so ended up experimenting this…

But instead of doing the environment variable thing. Just copy the g.bat that is the batch file in windows folder and you can run is without any other issue. Thanks by the way. keep up the good work Great tip? But instead of doing the environment variable thing.

I think I'd prefer to fire up a firefox/safari and just search using the in-built google bar. Aren't you using the macbook? Thanks.
