Pre-set Macros in shell

You know how you can right click and go to new>MacroQuest Macro. Well is there anyway that I can make a macro that it will basically copy to the destination that I choose. Basically change the .mac that it actually makes to a .mac with my std includes and events and stuff that I kinda use for all my macros

If you look in the c:\windows\shellnew folder you should see the template for a new .mac file. If you edit that then whenever you click on New, Macroquest Macro it will have whatever you have in there included. As for copying to the destination it not needed. Just navigate to your macros folder and right click New in there.

I know this is a semi-old topic but I'm trying to figure out how to add some files into my ShellNew, including .mac and .inc files. I went to a website that talked about going to the extention in the Registry and creatin a RZ_REG (I think that's what it was) and named it NullFile (which I tried). Plus in the .mac extension there was already the default string and FileName string. I tried both ways. Neither seemed to work. I went into my C:\windows\shellnew\ folder and all I found was some WINWORDB word document file (which is blank) and nothing else.

I'm using WinXP. Any help would be appreciated.

In XP the files can be found in

Code: Select all

\Documents and Settings\All Users\Templates

(and also in the various user-specific directories). Templates is usually marked hidden, so you may need to fiddle with your explorer settings to find it.

I'm not sure if the registry entries are differenti nXP, but if so searching around the web for "windows tweak" and "shell extensions" should find the information you're after eventually.

Messed with it and mess with it with no success. Ah well, it's not all that important.
