A Context menu in windows is the one that pops up when you right click on an empty space on your desktop. You have the authority to create your own context menus in windows but a problem that persists is that it requires sneaking into the registry which can be a harmful step if you are not a registry editing freak. SO Tech Gets Easy comes up again with an extremely easy way to create your personal context menus in windows. Keep reading to find out how to do this.
Here we proceed with our steps to create a context menu in windows :
1. We will need a software for it called YOUR MENU. First of all download YOUR MENU from here.
2. Now open the compressed folder of this installer and install it onto your hard drive.
3. After the installation run the program by double clicking the icon on the desktop.
4. The program opens up with a window with an intro screen and prompting you to proceed. Click On PROCEED button.
5. Now another window opens which provides two types of options. First is to create a single context menu and the other on is to create a cascade context menu. A single menu is the one which opens your application as soon as you click on it and runs only one application. A Cascade menu opens a sub menu to provide a list of more than one applications. We will proceed with Single menu as the latter one is quite similar to create.
6. Click on Single option button.
7. Two blank field now pop up onto the same window.
8. Now enter the name of the context menu you want to create into the MENU NAME field.
9. In the second field [SELECT PROGRAM (CLICK EMPTY FIELD)] just click to open a file browser.
10. Now choose the application for which you want to create the context menu. We are going with Avast Antivirus.
11. Now click on GENERATE REG FILE button.
12. Now again a file browser opens which asks you to select the location where you want to save your registry files. Save these files on desktop (you may choose other locations too) by clicking on save button. Then click OK button.
13. Now move to the location where you saved your files (Desktop in our case).
14. You will see 2 new files on that location. The first one is for creating the context menu and the other one is for inverting back the changes. Double click on the first file.
15. Now click on YES button from the warning that pops up and then click OK on the new window.
16. VOILA!!!!!!!!!! You are done. Right click on an empty space on the desktop to see your preffered context menu. If you want to revert to the changes click on the second registry file and you will go back to what you started with.
