Right-click "Find Target" for KDE icons

Right-click "Find Target" for KDE icons

In Windows, when you right-click on a shortcut on the desktop and choose "find target" it will open up an explorer window on that folder. On this page, I will attempt to create a mod that will accomplish just that.

Improved.

Thank you for the kind reply.

The script is now much improved since then, however. I own the above site so I'd prefer to keep any changes there, to avoid stale copies floating around. The new script is now much simpler, while being vastly more functional, thanks to some suggestions by the nice folks over at #winehackers.

I can see now why the "real" OS developers won't touch this with a ten foot pole. It requires some magic to make "find target" work for wine and cedega icons as well as regular desktop icons.

More praise, criticism and ridicule are all welcome!
