Create a personalized right-click menu—The 13th full guide to using the registry
There are many quick commands in the right-click menu of the mouse, which brings great convenience to users' daily operations. However, it is impossible for the system to integrate all the commands you want to use into the right-click menu. Sometimes the commands you need do not exist at all, so we can only add them by ourselves. So let’s take a look at a few examples of adding shortcut commands. As long as we grasp the basic method, we can learn from each other and add other commands.
Add "Shut Computer"
Generally, we turn off the computer by clicking "Start" → "Stop the system" → "Stop the computer" → "OK". In fact, there are more simpler methods. Open the registry editor, find the primary key "HKEY_CLASSES_ ROOT ＼Directory ＼ shell", create a new primary key named "Close", double-click "Default" on the right side of the window, and enter "Shut Computer" in the "Key Value" column. Then create the next level subkey "Command" under the "Close" primary key, double-click "Default" on the right side of the subkey window, and enter " , EXITWINDOWS" in the key value bar. After you are finished, right-click the "Start" menu to see the "Shut Computer" option. Referring to the above method, readers can also add the "Restart Computer" command to the right click.
Add "Quick View"
Find the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT＼*" subkey in the registry editor, create a new primary key in the window on the right, set its name to "Quick View", double-click the "Default" value item of the subkey, and enter "*" in "Numerical Data". After modification, you will see the "Quick View" item in the right-click menu of the mouse. You can directly view files in many formats without starting other software.
Add "Open in new window"
Sometimes we need to repeatedly click the "Up" or "Back" buttons to switch to different windows. In fact, we can add the "Open in New Window" command to the right-click menu to simplify operations. In the Registry Editor, expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\Directory\shell" primary key, add a new primary key under it, name it "Openw", and set the "Default" key value to "Open in new window". Then create a new primary key under "Openw", name it "Command", and fill in "%1" in the "Default" key value field. After completion, close the Registry Editor, restart the computer, and the settings take effect
Add a "calculator"
Friends who often use system calculators for calculations must want to quickly start the calculator through effective methods. Open the Registry Editor, locate "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell", right-click, create a new primary key under it, and name it "Calculator". At this time, double-click "Default" in the right window, enter "Calculator (&C)", then right-click the "Calculator" branch, and create a new name "C:＼Windows＼" under it. Close the registry, right-click the "Start" button and you can see the "Calculator" in the pop-up menu.
Add the "Send to" option
Sometimes we need to classify and manage various documents, and it is very troublesome to find the location to copy each time. In fact, we can use the "Send to" folder menu to copy quickly. The method is to select the target item to be added (applications, peripheral hardware, folders, etc. are all OK), create its shortcut, and then copy this shortcut to the C:＼Windows＼SendTo folder. In the future, your "Send to" menu will add the target item.
Add the "Empty Recycle Bin" option
Except for the "Recycle Bin" itself, the right-click menu of other files does not have the "Empty Recycle Bin" command, so we can also add it. Create a new primary key "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT＼*＼shellex＼ContextMenuHandlers", and exit the registry after confirmation. When right-clicking any file, its shortcut menu will have an option to "Empty Recycle Bin".
Delete the right-click command
Open the registry editor, find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER＼Software＼Microsoft＼Internet Explorer＼MenuExt” and delete them.
Delete legacy projects of the application
Sometimes after we uninstall an application normally, we will still leave some items that we no longer need in the right-click menu, and we also need to delete them. "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT＼*＼shellex＼ContextMenuHandlers"; if it is an item that is only valid for folders, it is stored in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT＼Directory＼shell" and "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT＼Directory＼shell>ContextMenuHandlers", sometimes there are also "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT＼Folder＼shell>" and "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT＼Folder＼shell>ContextMenuHandlers", and you can delete them after finding them.
Chinese right-click command
Sometimes when using right-click in some programs, some commands in the right-click menu that pops up are displayed in English. If the English is not good, you will be "confused". In fact, they can be Chinese. For example, after installing Network Ants, if the user right-clicks the web page, he will find that there is an extra "Download All by NetAnts" in the menu, which feels that it is a bit dissonant with other Chinese options. The way to Chineseize it is: open the registry editor, locate the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER＼Soft-ware＼Microsoft＼Internet Explorer＼MenuExt＼Download &&All by NetAnts”, then right-click the "Download &&All by NetAnts" subkey, select "Rename" in the shortcut menu that appears, and the "Download &&All by NetAnts" subkey will become editable. At this time, it can be modified to "All downloaded by Internet Ants". After pressing, restart the browser and the Chinese content will take effect.
Add a right-click menu to the file class object
Expand the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\" branch, right-click the "Shell" primary key in it, select the "New/Primary Key" command in the pop-up menu, and then rename "New Key #1" to "Open Word 2000". Then right-click the "Open Word 2000" primary key, select "New/Primary Key" in turn, and rename it to "Command". Select the "Command" primary key, double-click the left mouse button in the "Default" text under "Name" on the right window, and in "Key Value
"The following enter the complete path of the execution file of Word2000, such as "D:＼Program Files＼Microsoft Office＼Office＼” (note that you do not enter the quotes), press the "OK" button, and then close the registry editor
