Re: How to add a command to right click in Windows Explorer

I tried this, and I did see a command window pop up, but it did not compile.
I think it needs the full filename and extension passed to it. Normally, it
would be "javac helloworld.java". Is there some way to have it pass the
filename and extension?

Thanks
