Offlist Dan,

I have a strange request. Im looking for a simple solution that would do the following:

When right-clicking a file or folder that is on a mounted SMB network volume, I want to be taken to the top (root) level of that particular volume (relatively speaking). More specifically, I want to be taken into a hidden folder that lives at the top of all my SMB share points .

[…]

I want to reproduce this process with Mac OS X. The Mac has no problem seeing the ".ckpt" folders. I want to create a contextual menu that can simulate the Windows user's experience as simply and cleanly as possible. It wont be able to provide the fancy GUI that Windows has, but at least it can take the user to the relative ".ckpt" folder and let them decide what to do from there (this is the point I need to train my users, of course)

Coincidentally, I'm currently working on a CM that has reasonably similar requirements (actually a second one for the same client). If the user can see the mounted volume on the desktop, I wouldn't anticipate any major problems arriving at a solution.
