Hi, I currently have many (too many) destinations in my Windows 10 context menu that I can send files to from the Send To menu. I would like to be able to create a menu that has nested and selectable folders that I can send my documents to as part of the system context menu. Is it possible to create these expanded folders within the Windows 10 menu?
Windows 10 is full of tricks, and this time we'll show you how to customize the system's context menu to display many more folders, including nested ones, to which you can send your files. With a little initial work, you can invest in a feature that will undoubtedly improve your productivity when using Windows 10.
To perform this trick, prepare your Notepad ( notepad.exe) because it involves creating some special registry keys within the system . You will need to adapt the following source code to your needs, but as you will see, the lines are very easy to understand and, above all, to replace with the ones you need. Copy the code into Notepad , adapt it, and save the file.
[sourcecode text = "plain"] Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu] "Icon" = "shell32.dll, 43" "Subcommands" = "" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu \ shell \ menu1] "MUIVerb" = "Code editors" "Subcommands" = "" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu \ shell \ menu1 \ shell \ item1] "MUIVerb" = "Notepad ++" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu \ shell \ menu1 \ shell \ item1 \ command] @ = "D: \\ Notepad ++ \\ notepad ++. exe% 1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu \ shell \ menu1 \ shell \ item2] "MUIVerb" = "Other program "" Subcommand "=" "[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu \ shell \ menu1 \ shell \ item2 \ command] @ =" other_program.exe% 1 "[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu \ shell \ menu2]" MUIVerb "=" Audio Editors "" Subcommands "=" "[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu \ shell \ menu2 \ shell \ item1]" MUIVerb "=" Audacity "[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell \ Mimenu \ shell \ menu2 \ shell \ item1 \ command] @ = "D: \\ Audacity \\ audacity.exe% 1" [/ sourcecode]
Next, rename the file extension to ".reg" . If you look closely at the code, you'll see which folder names and shortcuts you can modify as you wish. From here, you just need to follow the described pattern to create the ones you want. The result is shown in the following image, and as you can see, it's very useful for not wasting a single minute of your productivity.
