Not sure if Free Commander and or Powerdesk will give you the URI link to the folder, FileMenuTools is a regular shell extension, but a vague memory says FC has its own context menu's - you can probably write script to do it - heck there's bound to be one out there somewhere.

I suspect the code was written anticipating folks would put a web url there like an authors facebook page, but it works with any well formed URI. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme and the cited IEEE RFC's for details on local file system URIs.

In my actual usage I have found that you need an internet format URI, a string with 'file:///' in front of it and spaces replace by '%20' etc - eg this wont work

E:\Calibre Libraries\TestInfo\AuthorInfo\Arnold Palmer

But this will work

file:///E:/Calibre%20Libraries/TestInfo/AuthorInfo/Arnold%20Palmer/
