Add Open Target Folder Option To Windows Explorer Context Menu

At times we need to open the target folder location of a shortcut, in Windows Vista you just need to right-click and choose "Open file location", but in-case of windows XP you need to - right-click the shortcut -> select Properties and then click "Find Target", However, to achieve the Vista type context menu option in Windows XP, simple install this handy OpenTarget shell extension (52.4 KB).

Thank You M8

I seriously do not understand how to install this :p I've tried to change the OpenTarget installation directory to desktop but it didn't work, the only reason why I've tried this is because
C:\Program Files\OpenTarget directory did not work..I seriously need help.

Open Target

Simple Download the above file, unzip it and run the OpenTarget.exe file, You must unzip the zip before launching it.

Very timely

I was thinking about writing this exact tool this coming weekend. Thanks for saving me a few hours. Very cool!

Windows 95 Powertoys version

Windows 95 Powertoys had this and I still use that version today with WinXP. It's always worked perfectly and adds a sub-menu to your shortcut right-click menu which allows you to find/manipulate the target of the shortcut.

Very nice, thank you!

I created this via a simple registry merge almost one year ago, nice that it's now available on a larger scale, not sure what it has to be an exe though.
