this is a simple productivity tip to ease accessing/invoking your favorite application at right click of context menu in a Windows shell.
In this example I am adding a context menu (menu that appears when you right click on any file in Windows) called “Edit with Notepad2”
Syntax:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shell] (this hive should be already existing, add JIC if it's missing) [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shell<Context menu name>] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shell<Context menu name>command] @="<path to application you want to invoke> "%1""
Example:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellEdit with Notepad2] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellEdit with Notepad2command] @=""C:\Tools\Bin\Notepad2.exe" "%1"" To ease importing these keys here Edit_With_Notepad2_Context_Menu_Integration is a Win Reg file. Rename it to .reg and simply double click and press OK.
