Adding an Application to the Context Menu of Every Folder


1. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Folder \ shell
2. Add a key named "NameOfApplication" (without quotes) whether it be Notepad, Calculator, etc.
3. Give it a default value of "NameOfApplication" This key can be named how you would like it to appear on the context menu.
4. Placing a '&' symbol in front of a character will allow you to use that character on the keyboard. (Characters that are underlined)
5. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Folder \ shell \ NameOfApplication
6. Add a key command
7. Give it a default value of the application you want to run. You must include the full path and file name.
8. The context menu of any folder should now include a command to open your application.
