Adding apps to your right-click menu can streamline your workflow on Windows 10, allowing quick access to frequently used applications without the need for icons or manual searching.
To accomplish this, you'll need to intervene with Regedit and configure additional extensions as instructed below.
Step 1: Press Windows + R to open the RUN dialog, then type Regedit and hit Enter.
Step 2: Once Regedit is open, proceed to copy the path below and paste it into Regedit's navigation bar.
| Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell |
Step 3: To access the path, paste it into the navigation bar using Ctrl + V and press Enter to open.
Step 4: After opening the Shell folder in the Registry, Right-click on Shell and select New => Key.
Step 5: Upon creating a new folder in Shell, ensure to name them correctly according to the application you wish to add.
For example: Mytour will add Google Chrome to the right-click menu, so it should be named Google Chrome.
Step 6: Continue to Right-click on the newly created application folder and create New => Key.
Step 7: For this new Key, you must name them as Command. Once you've created the Command folder under the root folder of the application to be opened, leave it there, and proceed to the next step.
Step 8: Right-click on the application you want to add to the extended list and select Properties.
Step 9: Now, locate the Target tag and copy the path inside. However, omit the two double quotes (“-”) at the beginning and end of the path.
Step 10: After copying the path, double-click on the Default (1) file in the newly created Command folder and paste the path into the Value data (2) section.
Step 11: Congratulations, you've successfully added an application to the right-click context menu on Windows 10. From now on, you can quickly open applications this way.
