Context menu is different

[dmlarsen30]

Hi,

I just reinstalled AutoIT on a fresh Win7 x64 system. I used to have a nice context menu item that would let me right click on a script and compile it for x64, after this re-install, it shows an option to compile the script for x86, but not x64.

It's not the end of the world, but I would like to have the old functionality. Can anyone explain how I might fix this?

Thanks.

I don't know about the installation but you can add items to the context menu like this

$KeyName = "myNewAction1"; some unique key name 
$ContextMenuName = "compile au3 script x64" ;what you want to appear in the context menu
$ProgramToRun = $FullPathToSomething
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $KeyName & "\command", '', 'REG_SZ', '"' & $ProgramToRun & '" "%1"'); to passes file full path of the icon you right clicked on to program
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $KeyName, '', 'REG_SZ', $ContextMenuName)

Thanks for the reply, I solved the problem by editing the registry. If anyone else runs into this problem, the relevant registry keys are in: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoIt3Script\Shell

Cheers!
