Simple enough answer;
Go to "Control Panel" > "Folder Options" > "File Types" (tab)
....and under the file-type who's right-click menu you want to modify / add
to (such as the [.ICO] file-type ), click on the "Advanced" button and
either "Edit" an existing entry or add a "New" entry.
But, for the ALL-FILES entry, you have to look in the registry itself under
the key :
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*
....that's the very first sub-key under the home-key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
simply called * (asterisk - stands for all /any file extensions)
The sub-keys and values you want to emulate are under the sub-key called
"Shell"
If you copy and paste the following into a plain text-file and then re-name
it giving it a *.reg extension - and double-click to import it. Then you
can go into the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell
....and examine and edit as you like the resulting entries that have the
result of adding "Edit with Notepad" to the all-files right-click menu.
REGEDIT4
; The first entry adds what will show on the right-click menu.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\edit]
@="&Edit with Notepad"
; The second entry defines what happens when the item is chosen.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\edit\command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
