[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:
It works in Windows XP, Vista and 7.

The manage shortcut is not working, something about missing the program to run it. It seems that an .exe is missing in the script
