Customizing Context Menus

G

Guest

I have seen several threads on this subject, but they seem to deal only with
adding, deleting, enabling and disabling context menu items.

What I would like to do is all of the above and to also change the listing
order and create, delete and move dividers.I don't know if this is even
possible.

My problem is that I have 2 computers and the context menus are different
from each other in the order that the items appear, which can be annoying.
I'd like to be able to make them the same.

Thank you for your assistance.

Adding Open in New Window
Copy these lines into a new blank Text Document, edit it to suit, name it IEOpenNew.reg, double click it.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\openinnew]
@="Open in New Window"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\openinnew\command]
@="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\INTERN~1\\iexplore.exe\" \"%1\""
Making Open in New Window the Default Double Click Action
Add these two lines in the above reg file (under REGEDIT4 by convention). If IE checks if it is the default browser it will offer to reverse this change if you choose to allow it to.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell]
@="openinnew"
Arranging the Context menu
The shell key can take more than the default value. For shell statements Windows places Open, Explore, Find,and Print first, then other Shell commands in the order they were added to the registry, then shell extension commands. By listing the commands under the Shell key you can rearrange the order.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell]
@="open,openinnew"
Dividers depend on where. What exactly are we talking about.
