How to mark/select 2 files from 2 different (!!!) dirs ?

[Guest Martin Caldwell]

Assume I put a shortcut to a program on my desktop.

This program is able to receive 2 files as parameter e.g.

 

myprogam.exe filename1 filename2

 

Just think of a diff viewer as example.

 

Ok. If now the two files are located in the SAME directory I can mark both

and drag them onto the program shortcut and everything works fine.

 

But what if the files are in different directories ?

 

If I mark the first file in WinExplorer, then switch to the second directory

and mark the second file then the previous marking of the first file is lost.

 

Ok, I could copy the second file to the first directory in order to use multi-marking

but this is rather unconvenient.

 

How else can I mark 2 files in two different directories?
