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).

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.

    • The New Outlook is horrible at best. The one thing they push so hard at is that stupid ad that has to stay on top to promote their stupid Office 365. They can go to hell with that BS.
    • Nvidia shares Windows hotfix driver 576.66 for FC 25 crashes, browser video bugs, and more by Sayan Sen Nvidia has been on a roll lately with its release of hotfix drivers, which are essentially emergency display driver updates meant to fix issues.. The company's GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards have been plagued with several issues, and these hotfixes as well as the regular GameReady driver updates, are being pushed out to clear up the software side problems. The first hotfix was released in early March with version 572.65 that resolved black screen bootups. This was followed by another, version 572.75, that addressed clocking issues. After that, version 576.15 helped fix Windows Sleep and Modern Standby-related temperature monitoring bugs. With the latest hotfix driver update, 576.66, Nvidia says that it has resolved a video playback bug in web browsers that can lead to red-green flashing and similar corruption of that nature. Aside from that, the driver also fixes multiple game crashes including EA Sports FC 25, and more. Nvidia notes that the new hotfix driver is based on its latest GameReady driver 576.52. As a refresher, that driver added support for Nvidia's new RTX 5060. The full changelog for the new hotfix driver 576.66 is given below: Dune: Awakening may crash during gameplay [5273568] EA Sports FC 25 may crash during gameplay [5251937] [RTX 50 series] Dragons Dogma 2 displays shadow flicker [5252205] [RTX 50 series] Video playback in a web browser may show brief red/green flash corruption [5241341] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 may crash [5283401] If you are encountering problems like the ones described above on Windows 11 or 10, you should definitely try updating the driver to the hotfix version here. In order to download the update, head over to Nvidia's official website on this page where you can also view the driver's release notes.
