Adding Context menu Items

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\syst em32\DirectX\Di nput, I wou;d have to open an explorer
windows and navigate there I could just right click on it and with
expanding menus I could choose to send it there. This is a really neat
feature but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have researched
how you can add an itme to the right click menu by adding to the
registry but this isn't how I am wanting to do it since the files and
folders on your hard drive are so dynamic you would have to constantly
be adding and subtracting from the registry. I don't know that much
about shell programming but I think this is how to accomplish this
program. If anyone knows how to accomplish this please post some
feedback.

Can you give me the name? I can't seem to find it in the Power Toys
section for WinXP Pro. And the link you provided takes me nowhere.

How can I use the designer to add a context menu to a class which inherits from a control, e.g. treeview, without adding the context menu to a form? For example, to add a context menu with "Select All" and "Clear Selection" to a checked list box? Thanks, Aaron Queenan.

Sorry Ive added this twice (sortof) but if I'd added an addendum to the first one then this would probably have been ignored. This problem affects a ContextMenu attached to a NotifyIcon object. I don't get the problem with context menus attached to list boxes etc. Ive also seen a noticeable slow down in speed when the menu attempts to hide after the problem occurs. When I build a dynamic submenu on the first time round, it shows a nice...

Is there a way to modify the standard context menu shown when someone right clicks in a windows text box and that would work for all open windows applications?

I have several context menu added to my forms. The forms are displaying items in a list view. When I click on an item in a list view, a popup context menu shows allowing me to chese between editing or deleting the item from the list view. That works fine.

Hi, I'm looking of a way (preferred - a ready class or dll) to customize the context menu. many application has more controls inside the context menu (like textbox, sliders, checkbox, panel etc'). is there a way making this without writing my own context menu (meaning, popup form or something) ? Please don't post commercial products to this topic thanks.

I'm working on a plotting control. The plotting control will have a context menu with basic commands for "scaling", "zooming", etc. Is there a way that, from the parent form, I can add more commands to the control's context menu? I'm envisioning a case where the control has a set of context menu items, and the parent form also has a set of context menu items. Thanks.

I have figured out how to add custom menu items to various buildin context menus by looking at a project on CodeProject.com and then doing some registry searches. But I can't find how to add a complex menu item, that is, a menu item that has a submenu, or possibly a sub-submenu. I also cannot figure out how to tell windows just where in the menu the new menu item should appear, or how to add a new separator line to setoff the new menu...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
