If
you want quick access to launch a frequently used application
without putting extra icons on your desktop, you can add that
application to the context menu for the desktop with a simple registry
hack. As shown below you can see a application named "shubham".
All of first open run dialog-box by pressing Ctrl+R and there type regedit then click on ok.
it will open registry editor there go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
now follow these simple steps :
1) Next,
you’ll want to create a new key underneath the shell key, the name of
which is exactly what is going to show up on the desktop menu.
Right-click on the “shell” key, and then choose New >> Key from the menu.
2) Give the new key the name that you want to show up on the desktop context menu. For this example we’ll be using shubham.
Optional:
If you want to assign an “Alt” key to this menu entry for quicker
access, you can change the (Default) value on the right and put an &
character in front of the key you want to use. For instance, if you
wanted to be able to just use the N key to launch Notepad once the
desktop context menu pops up, you can do this:
Personally
I don’t find this terribly useful since you have to use the mouse to
right-click on the desktop… may as well just use the mouse to click the
item. Still, for completeness I’ve included it.
3)
Next you’ll need to create the command key that will actually hold the
command used to launch the application. Right-click on the new shubham
key, and then choose New >> Key from the menu.
5)
To complete this step you’ll need the full path to the application that
you want to launch. You can use Shift + Right-Click to get the Copy as
Path menu item to find this more quickly.Note: of course, for Notepad you wouldn’t need the full path, but this is just an example.
6) Now click on “command” on the left side, and then double-click on the (Default) key in the right side to edit the string value.
Paste
in the full path to the executable that you got from the “Copy as Path”
step above, or you can put in the full path yourself if you’d like.
Once it’s done, it should look like this:
enjoy it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
