How do I add an item to the Right Click menu?


  • Start the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE)

  • Expand the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT by clicking the plus sign
  • Scroll down and expand the Unknown subkey
  • Click on the Shell key and right click on it.
  • Select New from the pop-up menu and choose Key.
  • Enter the name you want to be displayed, e.g. the name of the application. Click Enter
  • Right click on the new subkey and click New. Again select Key and enter the name "Command" and click Enter
  • Click on the newly created Command and double click on "(Default)"
  • Enter the path and name of the executable with %1, i.e.
    d:\program files\savedit\savedit.exe %1
  • Close the registry editor

When you right click on a file the new entry will be displayed.
