Add Cascading Menus for Your Favorite Programs in Windows 7 Desktop and My Computer Context Menus
It might become very useful if you want to add your frequently used programs or system tools under separate groups.
Today in this article, we are providing a ready-made registry script which can add a new cascading menu "Windows Apps" in Windows 7 My Computer context menu which contains following useful shortcuts under it:
- Calculator
- Character Map
- Command Prompt
- Disk Defragmenter
- Internet Explorer
- Notepad
- Paint
- Problem Steps Recorder
- Snipping Tool
- Sound Recorder
- System Restore
- Task Scheduler

By default, it adds the cascading menu in the middle of context menu. But if you want, you can add it at top or bottom of context menu.
There are 3 different scripts included in the ZIP file, simply run the desired REG file to add the cascading menu.
There is also an uninstallation script available in the ZIP file so that you can remove the cascading menu.
