Is it possible to change the menu that appears when you right click over an explorer browser? Actually, not change but rather add my own selection aside from 'view' 'arrange icons by', 'refresh', etc. I'm considering making a utility and it would be more convenient if it can re run from this mouse click menu.
So is it possible with VB?
Its possible with a few API calls but i dont know which ones, im interested in this so just replying to keep track of the thread :p
Well i couldn't find how to add your own menu to the right click menu of IE only, i thought it used subclassing but i dont know much... i did find this though on PSC that allows you to add a link to open your program when right clicking in IE, but this may not help... GL
Sorry! I meant the explorer for the directory tree not internet explorer. Didn't mean to mislead you.
Winzip adds its own if you select files for compression. I was thinking of also adding my own selection. is it just API or do I have to learn something else?
If you want it like WinZip with submenus and all, then start here
If you just want a single menu, then look in the registry. For example, text files...
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\
You can add keys that will appear as menu items in context menus.
