Custom Right Click Menu Item

Mike McCollister

In Windows XP I was able to add a batch file entry to the right click menu
on a folder. Here is the registry file that I add to do such.

-- Begin "jhead Rename.reg" --
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\jheadRename]
@="Rename &JPEGs with jhead"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\jheadRename\comm and]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L & jheadRename.bat & exit\""

-- End "jhead Rename.reg" -

Well, I can't do this in Vista in my standard user account as this is in the
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT section. How can I do this with my standard account and only
effect that account (i.e. in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER area instead of the
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT area)?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I don't think you can from a Standard account. You will probably have
to do it from an Administrator account instead.

Here are some links for the right click context menu you might find
useful.





Hope this helps some,
Shawn
