How to Add New Options to Right Click Menu in Windows

To add new options to the right-click menu in Windows, you can follow the steps below:

1. Open the Registry Editor: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, then type "regedit" and hit enter.

2. Navigate to the ContextMenuHandlers key: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers.

3. Create a new key: Right-click on the ContextMenuHandlers key, select "New" and then "Key". Give the new key a descriptive name, for example "MyNewOption".

4. Modify the default value: With the new key selected, double-click on the "(Default)" value on the right-hand side of the window. In the "Edit String" dialog box that appears, enter the path to the program or script that you want to run when the option is selected. For example, if you want to open a new instance of Notepad, you would enter "notepad.exe" (without quotes).

5. Add optional parameters: If you want to pass parameters to the program or script, add them to the end of the path separated by a space. For example, if you want to open a specific file in Notepad, you could enter "notepad.exe C:\example.txt" (without quotes).

6. Test your new option: Close the Registry Editor and then right-click on a file or folder in Windows Explorer. You should see your new option in the context menu.

Note: Editing the Windows registry can be dangerous and cause problems with your system if not done correctly. Make sure you create a backup of the registry before making any changes and be very careful when making modifications.
