I found out about ForceBindIP and I really love it, so much that I am using it regularly enough to where spamming the same command prompt over and over again is getting painful.
I'm on a 64-bit of Windows 7 Home Premium. What I want to do is add a right-click context menu item so that when I browse items in Windows Explorer, or on my desktop, I can automate a ForceBindIP command (through the prompt).
I am permanently connected to two networks: one over ethernet, and one over wireless. My ethernet network takes priority. What I want to do is add a "Run through wireless network" context menu item, that will send the item through this command:
ForceBindIP {5F657824-9E3B-46E5-C21E-F52585R6457E} "[path to right-clicked file here]"
It will need to run that command in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
I've no experience at all playing with the Windows registry or writing batch files, anything of that sort. How can I go about doing this?
Thanks. After posing this question, I tried this more and eventually managed to get just about where you are. My next question is about cascading menus.
I'd like to create a "Run through" menu with 2 options, "Wireless" and "LAN". How could I go about doing that? – Craig – 2012-06-28T04:06:39.127
Nope; you can’t do that with the registry. To make cascading menus, you need to either write a shell-extension (a DLL) or use a third-party shell-extension like MMM that lets you add custom entires.

Any ideas? I have UAC off.
Nevermind! Changed %windir% to the absolute path now and it's fine, thanks again! – Craig – 2012-06-28T04:43:51.467
Maybe it's a stupid question but...why you add this:
{5F657824-9E3B-46E5-C21E-F52585R6457E}
in the path to the ForceBindIP executable? – Torres – 2014-04-24T10:27:04.480

@Torres, that is the GUID associated with his NIC. You’ll need to replace it with the GUID associated with your own NIC.
