Hi all,

I'm sure I once knew how to do this, but the mind doesn't always retain what
it learns.

In XP Windows Explorer, if I right-click on a blank area in the right-side
pane, there is a context menu that displays. When I slide the pointer to the
NEW option, there is another menu that contains a list of applications that
can be invoked.

My question is: How do I add applications to those already showing in the
list?

Thanks.

Right click, click Choose a Program... and choose one and use it. That
program will be added to the right click menu.

Thanks for your replies, Nepatsfan and Poprivet.

I also discovered earlier today that I could use the Tweak UI application to
add items.

So now I have a bunch of ways. I just need to remember ONE of them the next
time I want to add an app. :>
