No right clicking?

[Juggernaut]

Okay, i've just recently reformatted my computer. Before, I could right click and create new scripts, and also right click to run scripts. Now, the scripts just appear as a text document, and I cannot right click them to run them, or edit them. I also cannot right click to create new scripts. Doing it using the program way, is just a hassle, and its much easier the old way. Does anyone know how i can get that working again?

So you would like the script to run when left clicked? or what... I'm confused.... :|

[Juggernaut]

Well no. You know the drop down menu when you right click? From there, there were options like "Create new...AutoItv3 Script". THere were also 2 options when right clicking a script there were "Run Script" and "Edit Script" and now after reformatting, it doesn't do that anymore.

Do you have Vista?

Try reinstalling as an administrator. (you can try that anyway)

[Juggernaut]

Nope, not vista. And I am on an administrator, was on one both times too.

You need some registry settings. These would normally be set by installing AutoIt so try updating or reinstalling.

Here is an example of adding a menu item to explorer's context menu.

$KeyName = "Edit file with SciTE";just a unique reference which won't be displayed
$ContextMenuName = "Edit with SciTE";what you see in the menu
$ProgramToRun = @ProgramDir & "\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe""
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $KeyName & "\command", '', 'REG_SZ', '"' & $ProgramToRun & '" "%1"'); the %1 will be the file you right click over
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $KeyName, '', 'REG_SZ', $ContextMenuName)
MsgBox(0, "Done", $ProgramToRun & " option has been added to the file context menu")
