Windows Context Menu

From Pigbert Wiki

Edit the Context Menu of both Windows Explorer and specific types

A very good link explaining what is going on: http://www.winvistaclub.com/e11.html

The following ways are possible:

1. Edited registry entries directly.

   Desktop Context Menu registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell

   Pigbert added keys C: Drive, D: Drive, E: Drive, and workspace

2. ShellMenuView and ShellExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html)

   A good tutorial @ howtogeek.com (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-clean-up-your-messy-windows-context-menu/)

   Edit a list of static menu items of files and folders

3. File menu tool (http://www.lopesoft.com/en/fmtools/info.html)

   alternativeto (http://alternativeto.net/software/filemenu-tools/about)

   It seems to only edit the menu for windows explorer

4. contex edit (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/ContextEdit-Download-78704.html)

   Allows you to customise per extension types.
