### Add Edit With * to the Windows Context Menu
|
||||
|
||||
This tweak will add whatever item you decide to save to the context menu for all files regardless if they are text or binary files. I personally use this to add an option to edit with [Notepad2](https://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html).
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the registry editor and navigate to HKCR\\*\shell
|
||||
\- If you would like to make the change for a specific extension, find it in the list. If the shell key isn't there, make it the same way as the next step.
|
||||
2. Right click on shell and select New -> Key
|
||||
3. Name the key the name you would like on the context menu, e.g. Edit with Notepad2
|
||||
4. Right click your new key and create a sub-key called command
|
||||
5. Select the command key and in the right pane right click the default string value and click on modify
|
||||
6. Enter the path to your executable in double quotes (the quotes aren't strictly necessary unless there's spaces but it doesn't hurt anything) and then %1 surrounded by quotes. If you don't put quotes around the %1 and you attempt to run your command on a file that has spaces in the name or in the path the command will fail and you won't open the file. e.g. "A:\Programs\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe" "%1" for my notepad2 installation.
|
||||
7. Enjoy! The change will take effect immediately so you don't need to restart explorer or your PC.
