Registry tweaking 2


 * Pin Applications to Your Background Context Menu**



You can set up quick access to your favorite applications by making some simple tweaks to the Windows Registry. Windows 7 affords users multiple areas to pin shortcuts for their favorite applications. But what if you have an application or utility that does not warrant a prime piece of real estate in your Taskbar or Start Menu? Well, you can neatly tuck those apps away in your right-click context menu for quick access. To pin an application to a context menu, open the Registry Editor and First implement my tip on Registry. Navigate to the //HKCR\Directory\Background\shell// key. Highlight //shell//, right-click it, and choose //New//, //Key// from the menu. Name the key whatever you like; for example **CCleaner**, since we decided to add a shortcut to that handy cleaning utility to our menu. Once you have created your new key, highlight it, and again choose //New//, //Key// from the menu. Create another new key named **command.** Next, highlight //command// and once again you will see that an automatically created default string value now appears in the right Regedit pane. In the right pane, highlight //(Default)//, right-click it, and choose //Modify// from the menu. In the Edit String window that opens, enter the path to the executable for the application that you would like to run; in this case enter **"C:\Program Files (x86)\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe"** (including the quotes). Click //OK//, and then close Regedit. Henceforth, anytime you right-click your desktop or the background of a folder, you can launch the application with a single click.
