^^ You can also try with "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3" key.

I am trying in Windows 7 to add an entry to MP3 files right-click context menu to start a program to test the files:

I went to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp3file and there is no shell only shellex.

I added "shell" key, added a new key called "test" with default changed to "Test with mp3utility"
Added new key called "command" and set the default entry to: "%programfiles(x86)%\mp3utility\mp3utility.exe %1

I rebooted after making the changes, but nothing new shows up on the right-click menu for MP3 files.

Do you have any suggestions? does this need to be under shellex instead?

Thanks.

Hiya Vishal! I have a small problem right now, i'm not sure what caused this but i have 2 "open" items in contextmenu, it's located in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell" I'm not sure why it adds 2 open items in my contextmenu? Can you provide me a .reg file what solves this? And is it possible to open files and folders without this open text in contextmenus?

@ ed jackman To fix your problem regarding 'Clean Recycle bin and Privacy (c)'- a) Open Iobit's ASC b) Click on Options c) In the ensuing window you should be seeing the 'General Settings' tab. Under 'Context Menu', there is an entry for 'Sweep Privacy'. This would be checked initially. Un-check it, and click on 'Apply'. Again put a check against 'Sweep Privacy' and click 'OK'. REgards..

^^ I'm not sure but you can do as following: Open "Shell32.dll" file in Resource Hacker and goto: Menu -> 247 In this menu, you'll get an entry for "Format". Simply delete the line and compile script. Save the file, restart your system and now the Format option should be removed.
