windows explorer Help!!!!!

[uni]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to add a option to the popup menu that displays when you write mouse click in windows explorer?

So I can add my own option to their popup menu, which when clicked, performs a function specified by me.

Thanks Heaps.

You have to add/modify registry entries... it would help to know what you would like to do...

I would like to add an option to the windows explorer popup that runs a specified .exe

What registry settings would allow me to do this?

Thanks.

Depending upon what filetypes you want your option available for you may have to put in a diffent place, but for a test try this... create/modify the following with regedit:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\MyProg\Command

and set the Default value to "C:\somepath\your.exe"

If your exe needs the file name then
"C:\somepath\your.exe "%1"

Whatever the keys above must match what I have except you can substitue whatever you want the menu option to be for the MyProg value... Close regedit, open explore, and right click on a file, you should see your new menu item.
