Adding Entries to Windows Context Menus

You need to create the following structure with the registry editor (“regedit”):

• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
  • *
    • shell
      • <name of your entry>
        • command

Only under “command” you need to set the ”(Default)” value. It's the full path to the application that you want to start. You can use %1 which will be replaced by the name of the file you right-clicked. For example:

C:\Programme\notepad2\Notepad2.exe %1
