Add any type of application to context menu


Following the given four simple steps you can be able to add any type of application to the desktop context menu.


1. Open up regedit.exe through the Start Menu search or run box, and then browse down to the following key:


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell

2. Next, you have to create a new key underneath the shell key, the name of which is gonna show up on the desktop menu.
Right-click on the “shell” key, and then choose New \ Key from the menu.

Give the new key the name that you wanna show up on the desktop context menu. For this example we’ll be using Notepad.


3. Create the command key that will actually hold the command used to launch the application.
 Right-click on the new Notepad key, and then choose New \ Key from the menu.

Give this key the name “command” in lowercase.

4. To complete this step you have to give the full path to the application that you wanna launch.
 Note: of course, for Notepad you wouldn’t need the full path.
Now click on “command” on the left side, and then double-click on the (Default) key in the right side to edit the string value.
