Adding shortcuts to context menu My Computer


Recommended Posts

Hello,

So, I'm on a quest to add shortcuts to various things to the context menu of my computer.

I found this article explaining how to add shortcuts to the my computer context menu... I was mostly wondering if anyone knew of more explorer.exe shortcuts similar to the one listed below:

Launching the Printers and Faxes dialog from the run dialog:

explorer file:///::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}

Anyone have know more of these "explorer file:///..." shortcuts?

Thanks,

Matt

just found a bunch from loose-screws forum by searching google with the above file:///....

If you want to use these commands as a context menu item, you'll have to run them with an executable:

Explorer.exe /n, /e, ::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}

RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLL hcp://system/sysinfo/sysinfomain.htm

RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLL shell:Desktop

RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLL "shell:My Pictures"

RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLL is the Run Command, it runs everything with it's associated program and it's caption sensitive (ShellExec_RunDLL)!

I use alot of these commands in "Desktop Icons without Text" (Nameless CLSID's with enhanced Context Menu's).

Herby, you seem pretty crazy into this stuff...

How could you, for instance, have the control panel as a list item in the context menu of My Computer?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\CP] 
@="&Control Panel"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\CP\command] 
@="Control.exe"

This adds the Control Panel to the context menu from My Computer.

Edit: It's not possible to add an expanding Control Panel to the context menu if that is what you ment.

That was what I meant, but that little bit there makes this whole process a lot more clear.
