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
