Add Control Panel, MSConfig, Registry Editor, Services Manager and Other Useful Shortcuts in My Computer Context Menu

[UPDATE] Now ZIP file contains separate registry scripts to add each option. Also an uninstallation script available to remove each option.

Control Panel, Task Manager, Device Manager are a few system applications which we use frequently in our daily computer tasks. Wouldn't it be great if we can access them quickly by right-click on My Computer icon on Desktop?

Today we are going to share a registry script which will add following shortcuts in My Computer context menu:

Programs (Add/Remove Programs)
Control Panel
Device Manager
Event Viewer
MSConfig
Registry Editor
Services
Task Manager

Following is a screenshot of My Computer context menu after applying this registry tweak:

Just download following ZIP file, extract it and run desired REG file. It'll ask for confirmation, accept it:

Download Registry Script

It works in Windows XP, Vista and 7.

Is there any way via regedit ?

Thanks anyway.

^^ Of course. You can open .REG file in Notepad and manually create those keys in Registry.

I assume it's just as easy to omit the ones you want from the file?
let's say I just want the task manager added?
