Add shortcuts to Windows explorer right click menu
To add a shortcut to the mouse right-click menu you have to edit the registries at Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background
Alternatively you can create a .reg
file and execute it.
Example creating a shortcut for Atom:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\NameOfApp]
@="Open Atom here"
#path to app icon
"Icon"="\"C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Local\\atom\\app.ico\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\NameOfApp\command]
#path to app executable file (%V to "open in current location")
@="\"C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Local\\atom\\atom.exe\" %V\""
(Don’t forget to change the variable names)
- Copy code to a .reg file
- Execute it
