Add Any Application to Windows Desktop Right-Click Menu:
If we want quick access to launch a frequently used application without putting extra icons on our desktop, we can add that application to the context menu for the desktop with a simple registry hack.
This Video shows how to do it…
Open Registry Edit through the start menu search box or run dialog box.
Now, Navigate to the following key in regedit:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
Right-click on the “shell” key, and then choose New Key from the menu.
Give the new key the name that you want to show up on the desktop context menu. For this example we’ll be using Paint.
Next we need to create the command key that will actually hold the command used to launch the application. Right-click on the new Paint key and then choose New Key from the menu. Give this key the name “command” in lowercase.
Now, click on Paint on the left pane, then right click on Default on right pane, select “Modify…” option, Here, enter string value as “&Paint”
Now, click on command on the left pane, then right click on Default on right pane, select “Modify…” option, Here, enter string value as full path of the executable file.
In this Example: c:\windows\system32\mspaint.exe
We can add as many Applications to the desktop Context Menu as we would like..
Just repeat the steps again with a new Menu Item Name.
