This is a great icon extractor. Been using it since it was published nearly one year ago.

OpenedFilesView v1.52

Checker on 23 Jun 2012

OpenedFilesView displays the list of all opened files on your system. For each opened file, the handle value, read/write/delete access, file position, the process that opened the file, etc. are displayed. You can also close one or more opened files, or terminate the processes that opened these files. This is particularly handy when you are trying to delete/move/open a file and Windows complains that the file is "locked".

Open++ v1.5.1

lautrepay on 27 Sep 2012

Open++ is a context-menu shell extension that allows you to quickly open selected files or folders with customizable commands.

Category:
System Requirements: Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7
Writes settings to: Application folder
Dependencies: Ability to write to the registry to register the shell extension.
Stealth: ? Yes. Use the "Uninstall" option to deregister the shell extension when finished using Open++.
Path portability: Requires manual entry of relative path (eg. ..\..\personal\work.doc)
License: Freeware
How to extract:
  1. Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice.
  2. Launch OpenXX.exe.
  3. Select the "Install / Uninstall" tab and click on "Install" to register the shell extension.
Optionally, for path portability: use the "%OpenXXDir%" argument in the "Program" field. For example, if Open++ is located in x:\apps\open ++ and you want to add a program from the Opera folder, enter %OpenXXDir%\..\opera\opera.exe in the "Program" field.

With ref. to previous post (checksum maximum 16 files).

Explanation and workaround (tested & working!) offered by dev.

This issue should be a command line length limitation issue. The maximum length of command line on Windows is 2048, the Open++ needs to reserve 263 characters for the program path in the command line which leads to only have 1785 characters for arguments that can be used to store all file paths. So if the average path length of each selected file exceeds 110 characters, Open++ will only be able to handle 16 files.

Here is the workaround to let Open++ handle more files if you change the settings of "View File Checksum" command exactly as indicated below. The downside of this workaround is that the Open++ will not be able to calculate the checksum of the files which are not under the same folder.

Parameters: ViewFileChecksum %FileNames%

Working directory: %FileDir%

Wow, can't believe I missed the ability to run any of the items from the Open++ menu in elevated (admin rights) mode by just holding down the Shift key! And I've been using this for quite some time now (and actually rely on it).

Ascend4nt on 2013-05-16 21:36

^erm, seems I spoke to soon. The ability to run programs with elevated rights seems to be broken for items with relative paths.

It worked very fast for me. It extracted it into organized folders. Good app to have.

A simple but very useful extraction program.
A "must have" in every portable collection!

FYI, if anyone wants a command line tool for this type of thing, Microsoft has provided an app called filever.exe in their support tools since W2k.
