Do you work in a windows dominant environment? Are your network drives packed with Windows Shortcuts that point to directories and documents? Are you tired of starting a windows machine just to change your windows domain password? Do you want to copy path names to an email? Here is the answer: WinShortcutter!



WinShortcutter is a collection of small and useful utilities that are primarily focused at people working in a windows dominant office environment with a weak Mac support.



The latest release is for Mountain Lion only. Please use one of the earlier versions when using and older version of MacOS X (see downloads on the right side). Easy to Use

WinShortcutter comes with a proper installer and works right out of the box. Features Check out the new Browser Extensions: On web pages containing links to local files or shared file ("file://"), clicking the link will open it via WinShortcutter's Windows Link function. Please note that you will first have to install the extension in WinShortcutter's System Preferences.

Works with Mountain Lion: Code is signed and works with Gatekeeper setting "Mac App Store and identified developers"

New Quicklook feature: Quicklook will show, where the Shortcut points to!



Enhanced Mapping feature with arbitrary path. See Description below for a detailed explanation



Clicking on a windows style shortcut (.lnk File) will follow the link. If the shortcut points to a folder, a new finder window will be opened, if the shortcut points to a file, the file will be loaded with the default application for the file. If the shortcut points to a file on the network, the corresponding drive will automatically be mounted, if needed.

WinShortcutter Services and context menus (compatible with Snow Leopard and up): You can open a textual link sent to you by a windows user by using the service or context menu. The finder context menu has a menu item to copy filename paths into the clipboard. You can then paste the text into an email. If the mapping paths is enabled, WinShortcutter will now also do a reverse mapping. Note that you will have to enable the Service in the preferences.

Windows Domain Passwords can be changed using the WinShortcutter System Preferences.

Path Copy can also produce Paths with backslashes (\) for windows! This behavior is configurable in the System Preferences

Support for CIFS drives.

Alias can be generated with Command double-click, without activating in the System Preferences What's New in Version 3.5? Added Support for Mountain Lion. Code is signed and works with Gatekeeper setting "Mac App Store and identified developers"

Added new Menu Option "Copy URL to Clipboard"

Added possibility to open links directly in the Web Browser (Safari, Firefox and Google Chrome) by left click

Improved installer which enforces Log Out after installation What's New in Version 3.2? Support for MacOS Lion

Support for other character code sets (e.g. Greek)

Improved path detection (file URLs now work with an arbitrary number of slashes)

Various bugfixes (please read included Readme file for details) What's New in Version 2.3.1? Fixed a bug in copying paths, when mount points contained spaces

Fixed a problem, where WinShortcutter could enter an infinite loop in very rare cases

Support for DFS (AdmitMAC and DAVE)

The context menu in the finder now does not display the full path anymore, just a generic "Copy Path to Clipboard" WinShortcutter is Freeware
