Add context menu on all files

[FireFox]

Hi,

(Ive searched with topic on forum and found nothing)

I want to add windows context menu to all files (when I click right)

For example when you install winrar it add "Extract here" to context menu

And I want to do same thing but to all files

Thanks for anyhelp.

Easy to do.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open]
@="Open &With Notepad"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open\command]
@="notepad.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sandbox]
@="Run Sandboxed"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sandbox\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Sandboxie\\Start.exe\" /box:__ask__ \"%1\" %*"

Here you see that a key called 'open' has a default value of 'Open &With Notepad'. Remember that the @ means default. A subkey in the open key must exist called command. In this you create another default value with your command line parameter.

You can choose to use * for pretty much anything. You could also try to put your values under the HCR keys of File, Folder, or if you have specific extentions in mind, just go to those extentions and add your values there. Sky's the limit on what you can add, all depends on if you need it to be only for certain types, or for everything.

Cmenu is a great tool. Mhz is great. He helped me out a lot when I was first messing with autoit.

I dont understand exactly your code, in my regedit I have :

- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    - *
        - OpenWithList
             - Notepad.exe
             - Etc....exe

But I want to add context menu for all files like (when you right click) you have Copy/Paste

Thanks for anyhelp

@Everybody,

I found what I wanted and Ive created script for create contextmenu item for all files :

$file = FileOpenDialog("Select file to execute in context menu", "", "Application (*.exe)", 1 + 2, @SystemDir & "\Notepad.exe")

If Not @error Then
    $text = InputBox("ContextMenu <d3montools>", "Enter name for context menu item", "New ContextItem", "", 250, 75)
    If Not @error Then
        RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell")
        RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $text)
        RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $text & "\command")
        RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\" & $text & "\command", "", "REG_SZ", $file & " %1")
        If Not @error Then
            MsgBox(64, "Context Menu", "Context menu successfully created !")
        Else
            MsgBox(16, "Context Menu", "Error while creating context menu !")
            Exit
        EndIf
    Else
        Exit
    EndIf
Else
    Exit
EndIf

Enjoy !

You will need to use a shell extension. You could try a established one like Fast Explorer which uses a ini file for entries or you could try CMenuExtender that I used for CMenu. CMenuExtender is tricky to work with so I would advise Fast Explorer or some other that maybe available. Or if your smart enough, then create your own shell extension to suit.

Thanks for your words of appreciation.

Commandline : %1
Icon : shell32.dll,22
Description : Get Path of selected file
Options : 

|x| Append File    | | Append Directory

Thanks for anyhelp.
