launch NOTEPAD with current folder PATH - scud - 03-01-2009

Is it possible to add some shortcut (especially Notepad) on toolbar with knowledge about current folder (to looks like I launched Notepad from that folder)?
Let me explain detailed what I mean. For example I browse some folder "D:\This\Is\My\Path\Folder" and after that I click on Notepad icon from TCUP toolbar, Notepad is opened and I write some text and wish to save that text file in folder where I am currently. When I chose save command from Notepad I wish Notepad to know I am in "D:\This\Is\My\Path\Folder" path and all I need is just to write file name without browsing that folder. How to do that in TCUP? Suggestions? Smile

TC UP > Buttonbar ("New file/directory" button) or F7 key > File > Name > OK

Thanks for answer, but that's not exactly what I wish. I know for that F7 (New Folder or File) command but, on that way I need to chose on that dialog txt file and after that press OK. After few clicks I get opened Notepad, but I wish just one click on toolbar with Notepad icon to automatically open Notepad in current path. Is it possible to do?

Is it possible to configure that New Folder to open Notepad automatically for me after just one click on toolbar (without dialog for choosing New Folder/File)?

I don't know about standard notepad but for n++:
1. add its exe to button bar as new button,
2. clear completely "Start path" field,
3. OK and you're done!

Remember: wanted application must support such "feature". Some software ignore starting path and always gets you to "My Documents" if loaded without file.

Personally I recommend you to use Shift+F4 feature.
