Hi, is it possible to add an option to search in 'IMDB' on the context menu.

What I want?

I've folders with movie names, I want to right click on the folder and want an option in the context menu of search in IMDB.

Is it possible?

Though possible, it would take time to implement it for me. I don't know how to pass folder/file name as argument to custom search in right click menu which you want to.

hmm, we can do two things,

1. create a vbscript which would,
a>take the name of the selected folder in parameter
b>open IE and IMDB search URL with the param

2.Run vbs file from context menu

So that, I can right click on the folder and run this VBscript. When in execution, this program would take selected folder name in param and open IE with IMDB URL

I'm not aware about regedit workings but somewhat aware of VBScript.

Searched internet and seems firing vbscript from context menu is too much trouble.... :(

There's a temporary fix, which you maybe interested.

- In chrome store, search for IMDb (most of the extensions have right-click option) and install the extension.
- Open the required drive in Chrome, and it will list all the folders.
- Select the folder, and right-click for IMDb search.

I would like to explore this option but can you specify exact extension name?
When searched it came out with a lot of results.
