HOW TO ADD APPLICATION TO RIGHT CLICK ON DEKSTOP

Hey friends Today I am going to share a trick to how to add application to right click on deskto.

Open notepad (Windows key+ R and type notepad).

 Paste in the following script:

 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\Menu1]
"MUIVerb"="Apps"
"SubCommands"="notepad;calc"
"icon"="explorer.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\notepad]
@="Notepad"
"icon"="notepad.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\notepad\command]
@="notepad.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\calc]
@="Calculator"
"icon"="calc.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\calc\command]
@="calc.exe"


 This is a predefined set of applications, add application name to  "SubCommands"="notepad;calc" in above code (e.g to add word, addwinword after calc after putting a semi colon (;)) AND paste in the following code further:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\myapp] @="<Name to be displayed>" "icon"="<myapp.exe or any icon of choice"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\myapp\command] @="<full path of .exe file>"
 Now, save it as <filename>.reg. And double click it and click OK on asking. See what we did:
                                                           
                                                                 ENJOY THE TRICK
