Modifying right click behavior

[Guest]

Is there any way to change how right click behaves to have it open programs
by right clicking on the shortcut?

Or more specifically what im looking for is a shortcut for my computer on
the toolbar that when is right clicked opens system properties? Is this
possible?
Or how would I add the system properties option in the right click menu if
it isnt.

Can't name one, but I know there is a boatload of utilities (which is
what you're looking for) on www.download.com.

cruise over there and browse the Utilities menu.

Let me / us know what you find.


good luck!

Yes.

But, if you right click a shortcut, Open is usually the default action. The
first item on the list and in BOLD letters.

The Windows key + the Pause key will open System Properties.

sysdm.cpl = System Properties

Tying: sysdm.cpl in the Run command will open System Properties.

Double clicking sysdm.cpl will open System Properties.

Create a shortcut to %windir%\system32\sysdm.cpl

The following commands typed into the Run command will open System
Properties as listed below.

control Sysdm.cpl System Properties @General tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,1 System Properties @Computer Name tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,2 System Properties @Hardware tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,3 System Properties @Advanced tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,4 System Properties @System Restore tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,5 System Properties @Automatic Updates tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,6 System Properties @Remote tab
