help Add Any Application Shortcut in Desktop Context Menu
- by blackjack
i got the info here but after adding that i didn't get any shortcut on my desktop contest menu :(
pls help me i want it only on my desktop context menu
Open regedit and goto:
CODEHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
now under this key create another key
with any name and in right-side pane
set its value to the label, which you
want to show in desktop context menu,
like Media Player, Winamp, Firefox,
anything else.
Now create another key under this newly created key with name command.
and in right-side pane set its value
to the exact path of application,
like:
C:\Program Files\Windows Media
Player\wmplayer.exe C:\Program
Files\Winamp\winamp.exe etc...
Thats it. Now you can check your favorite application shortcut in
desktop context menu.
You can create as many shortcut as you want. Simply create a separate key
for all the applications.
Following is a ready-made code:
CODEWindows Registry Editor Version
5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\WMP]
@="Windows Media Player"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\WMP\command]
@="C:\Program Files\Windows Media
Player\wmplayer.exe" Just change the
label and path to ur desired
application and save with the name
"vishal.reg" (including the quotes)
and run it.
U can also set the application
shortcut to show only when u press
key by adding "Extended"
String value in right-side pane of the
newly created key:
CODEWindows Registry Editor Version
5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\WMP]
@="Windows Media Player" "Extended"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\WMP\command]
@="C:\Program Files\Windows Media
Player\wmplayer.exe"
