3742	Locate Windows Shell context menu items in an extra menu	anonymous		"When AutoIt is installed, it creates about seven new menu-items for the explorer context menu, when right-clicking a .au3 file. Three ""Compile"" versions, an ""Edit"" and three ""Run"" versions. Can these please be grouped in a menu, so the explorer menu looks cleaner?

----
It's really easy, just by creating the right registry keys and values. Currently individually written to ['''HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoIt3Script\Shell''']. Obviously, I don't need to tell you how this works, but ''for those who want to know, or do it themselfs'': I would suggest the following keys and values here:


{{{
KEY ""AutoItMenu""
- REG_SZ ""MUIVerb"" = ""AutoIt""
- REG_SZ ""Icon"" = ""C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe""
- REG_SZ ""SubCommands"" = ""AutoIt_Compile;AutoIt_Edit;AutoIt_Run""
}}}


And then create inside ['''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell'''] the following …


{{{
KEY ""AutoIt_Compile""
@ (default) = ""Compile script""
- KEY ""command"" = ""C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Aut2Exe\Aut2Exe.exe"" /in ""%l""

KEY ""AutoIt_Edit""
@ = ""Edit script""
- KEY ""command"" = ""C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe"" ""%1""

KEY ""AutoIt_Run""
@ = ""Run script""
- KEY ""command"" = ""C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe"" ""%1"" %*
}}}



I'll leave the solution for the ability to choose between x86 and x64 versions to you."	Feature Request	closed		AutoIt		None	Rejected
