| I'm looking for a way to add a few options to the right-click menu in explorer. Like for example when you right-click on a certain filetype, my new added options would appear and clicking on them would launch of program with the proper commandline args. A perfect example of a program which does this is WinRAR (or WinZip) -- when you right click on a .zip/.rar file, several options to decompress the file appear. The only thing I know is that you have to make some weird additions to the registry. What exactly you have to add/change is still a mystery, as is anything else you need to do to get something like this working. Sliver pointed me to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/shellex/ContextMenuHandlers/ ...where an entry for WinRAR can be found -- unfortunatly, I wasn't able to use WinRAR as an example, or even dig up further items for research. If anyone can shed any light on this, it'd be appreciated. |

Originally posted by Disch Well, on Win98, if I want to add more options for a file type, I go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, go to one of the extensions I want to change (starting with "."), look at the name in default, go to that name under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, go to subfolder "shell," add a new folder to that shell, to the default put the name of the command, create a new folder that's sub to it named "command," and put the Command Prompt to command to handle the file like you want under default using "%1" to substitute for the file name.  |
