"Open .Net Command Window Here" context menu for Windows Explorer: The reg file described below adds a new menu item to Windows Explorer's context menu when you right-click over a folder (or the drive root). The menu item text is "Open .Net Command Window Here". When you click it, it opens a command window positioned at that directory and runs the vsvars32.bat file to set the .Net Framework environment variable settings. This makes it...

I would like to programmatically (from VB.NET or C#), manage items in the windows explorer 'folder' context menu (right click menu). I need an entry to be able to pass the folder path to my application. If I can configure this using the .NET framework then that would be ideal, using Win32 a close second. Modifying the registry would be ok but not sure how safe this would be on future versions of windows. Any help much appreciated.

I am wanting to replicate a linux feature that I can't seem to find anywhere in windows as an addin or program. If anyone is familiar with linux, if you right click on a folder or file, you get the option to send to any other folder on your hard drive. For example, if I had a file on my desktop that I wanted to send to C:\Windows\system32\DirectX\Dinput, I wou;d have to open an explorer windows and navigate there I could just right click...

How can I invoke the standard Windows Shell Context menu for a file or folder from vb.net? I have a treeview with nodes in it representing files and folders, as in windows explorer and when I right-click on a node I would like to call the usual context menu that you get in explorer. I have found lots of articles on the web detailing how to add items to the context menu for explorer, but not how to access it from VB.net Lesley

Well, I've spent the last 5 hours with Google, trying to find the answer to this question--I have an app that needs to perform its operations on a folder (or folder background) selected in Windows Explorer. I also downloaded a 3rd-party app DLL (Fast Explorer) that lets me add my own items to the context menu. So far, so good. However, when I activate my app from the context menu, I can't figure out how to pass the name of the...

I have a context menu which is shared between a TreeView and ListView control (both controls show the same information, similar to how Windows Explorer works, so it makes sense to use the same menu on both views). What i'm struggling to do when the menuItem_Click event is fired, is to detect the TreeNode or ListViewItem that was originally right clicked when the context menu was opened. I can't just look at the selected item, because...

I'm hoping someone can offer some guidance regarding a concept I have. I'm trying to perform the following within Windows Explorer: 1. Add an entry to the context menu which should be executed upon right-click of a folder or right-click of an open white space within the righthand pane. 2. Run the program that will create a pre-determined folder path -- possibly several folders deep -- within the folder that was originally...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
