Create favorite and/or shortcut from selected directory

(1/2) > >>

Ron47:

User selects a folder in Windows Explorer. I want to create a script that will make a favorite and/or make a shortcut of the selected folder.

I don't know how to use WinBatch to get the folder information.

Thanks!

td:
Maybe check out the AskDirectory function in the Consolidated WIL Help file. 

Ron47:
Thanks. I'm familiar with this but it's not what I'm looking for.

I would like to use WB to determine what directory the user has already selected in Windows Explorer and then make the directory a favorite or make a shortcut of the directory that I can place into another directory.

td:
You will need to explain a little more clearly what you are attempting to do.  Hopefully, you don't want to add a folder to favorites every time a user selects one in an Explorer window. That could quickly render the Favorites folder useless.  Not to mention making for an unhappy user. So what is going to trigger adding a 'selected' folder to favorites?

Ron47:
A voice command. User selects a folder and issues a command to make it a favorite. (Actually, this would be one command.)
