Didnt find in both sites nothing that could help my problem, anyone?

dd

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\YourKeyName

then add two values , one takes the path to your exe , the other one Binary Value and change it to 04 .

Did you do this ?

As I said above I want to add a menu item for folders in EXPLORER not IE

bump..im really needing this

open regedit , go to this key ...
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
add a new key to that , which would look something like this ...
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\newkey
add a key to the " newkey " called command , you should then have this...
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\newkey\command
click on the key " command " and set it's default value to the command you wish to invoke ( eg: x:\Path\MyApp.Exe %1 )

it should look something like this ...

• Directory
• ....shell
• .......newkey
• ..........command ------- default %SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe

Keep in mind , you need to restart after each try so the reg gets updated .

Check this...

Context Menu

Thanks all but I've figured it out all by myself last night.

@Pirate: I thought the same but it isn't needed..you can add your entries and they will appear on the fly on all explorer's context menus

Thanks <ABX . I'll create a little tool that automate adding right-click context menu without digging in the reg . .........:D

%1 is the File path. If I Want to Log for example every file copied & pasted on a Guys Computer then what does the Path store as? Object? String?
I was thinking Clipboard.getdata("text"), or Clipboard.getdata("object").

I wanted the Path and Destination so, %1 is the Source, is %* the Destination? Then That is all I need to Log the Files Copied into a Text File.

Can Anyone Help, Thanks.
