Shell Menu Item

[Chris86]

Hi, I have been searching around about how to execute a program with the shell menu, but I didn't understand it so well..

Could someone explain me how I can do it?

I want to make this usable with all file types..

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell

RegWrite("HKCR\*\shell\Test", "", 'REG_SZ', 'Test Program')
RegWrite("HKCR\*\shell\Test\Command", "", 'REG_SZ', 'YourProgram.exe "%1"')

Thanks but what if i want to have several options

Ex:

Backup -> Backup on Web

------------- Backup on Pc

these are the args I want it to execute

YourProgram.exe "-web %1"

YourProgram.exe "-pc %1"

;next line is not essential, but adds custom description, otherwise Context will be say "WebBackup"
RegWrite("HKCR\*\shell\WebBackup", "", 'REG_SZ', 'Backup on Web')
RegWrite("HKCR\*\shell\WebBackup\Command", "", 'REG_SZ', 'YourProgram.exe -web "%1"')

;next line is not essential, but adds custom description, otherwise Context will be say "PCBackup"
RegWrite("HKCR\*\shell\PCBackup", "", 'REG_SZ', 'Backup on PC')
RegWrite("HKCR\*\shell\PCBackup\Command", "", 'REG_SZ', 'YourProgram.exe -pc "%1"')oÝ÷ ØÓýz-²êÞ2¢êÞÅ©©êk¢

hmm, It didn't work :S could it be caused by windows 7 that regwrite doesn't work?

Can you directly import a reg file? I'm not sure about Windows 7 rights and such, but I know that Vista required admin privileges to do RegWrite . You can either make a script that creates a regfile and then imports it, or you can use the commandline REG to add the keys. Yell if you need help.

EDIT: For kicks, try adding #RequireAdmin to the top of the script

Yes I forgot the #RequireAdmin xD
