Windows 11 add "Edit script" to main context menu

[NassauSky]

Has anyone seen or posted any code to move or copy "Edit Script" from the Windows 11 "Show More Options" context menu into the main Windows 11 context menu. I edit scripts so often and it would be nice to at least see that included.

For now I'm using Shift+RightClick which is not terrible but it would be nice to have that individual item added there without restoring the full menu.

😕

Thanks @AndrewG

I want to leave double clicking to running the au3.

So far I have 5 options:

1) Using shift F10 which is counter intuitive and slows my continuous use of the editing.

2) Bring back the old legacy Win10 menu by modifying a windows registry key

3) Right clicking, choosing "Open with" then "Choose another app" next finding Scite.exe in the x86 programs folder then "Just once" then in the future you will see the edit option from now on in "Open with"

4) I'm still looking into the reputation of shell.exe (https://nilesoft.org/docs) which uses a simple addition to a tiny configuration file:

item(title='Autoit Edit' cmd='C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe' args='"@sel.path"' image=image.res('C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe'))

5) The best option is if I can write the source code in autoit (since exe's from unknown developers could be shady)

Thanks though!
