^^ 1. Use following command:

explorer.exe /e,::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}

2. You can use following:

Dear Ask VG or Vishal And Team,

I have added my name to my desktop context menu with my own custom icon, when you click on it I have it set to open explorer.exe.

I have been trying to find the command value to have My Computer open rather than explorer.

Can you please help?

My other question was I am trying to make a copy of my genuine Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Tweaked the way I like it with all my reg tweaks, hacked shell32.dll, imageres.dll, All Icons, Diasbling task scheduler, all my disabled services, would like my windows functions I don't use already turned off and so on and so on, the list goes on almost infinitely!!!

Do you have any suggestions on how to make this disc? As it would save me SO MUCH TIME!!!! When I go to do a fresh install. Is there a way to create a windows back up disc that I could use to do a fresh install with? Or m/b just install a fresh copy of win 7 x64 and then use a system image I created before the windows install?

Thank you guys for all your coolness, Love the site and I follow your windows 7 section religiously.

There was one other thing I wanted to mention and that is: wouldn't it be cool to have an Nvidia/ATI Icon in the desktop or computer context menu ( with icons) and when you click on it, it takes you to the Nvidia or ATI driver download site!!

I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who are constantly updating there Video/sound drivers religouslly like I do. Just a thought.

Again you and your crew are amazing, So I would personally like to thank you all!!!!
You guys are the best.
Sincerely Justin Bonnici

Thanks for this great post, I've been looking for a solution to shell menu item with icon for a long time.

I have one more question. Can I add some "splitter" to separate my item from system ones?
It would be like the nVidia menu item in http://www.askvg.com/how-to-remove-save-schemes-other-entries-from-desktop-context-menu/:
View
Sort by
Refresh
-----
Paste
-----
My Item
