  1. Cannot read context menu


    Suddenly, I cannot read most of the text in the context menu which appears when I press the right mouse button. The reason is that the majority of commands has turned white on a white background. How can I change text color in the context menu?

    :)

  2. Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown Cannot read context menu :(

    Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    Well.. have a look at this:

    Cannot read context menu 377575d1666287089t-context-menu-open-windows-suggested-list-gw-done.png


    I took a risk. I've set a System Restore point then installed Gold Wave.
    It was not present in that Open With list.

    I used the Default Programs Editor:

    Did you click Save...? You should have seen:

    Cannot read context menu 377577d1666287188t-context-menu-open-windows-suggested-list-gw2.jpg


    Note: if you are running as a standard user you may need to run it as admin, if it doesn't offer a UAC prompt.

    - opened via Open With as above.

  4. Cannot read context menu

    Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2
    Diagram 'A' shows Windows' suggested programs
    Diagram 'B' shows the extended list

    I have been trying to edit the context menu's "Open with" list of Windows' suggested programs for the .mp3 extension.
    I'm not talking about the extended list, but rather the programs that first appear 'before' the "choose another app" option.
    If you look at Diagram 'A' you will see the preliminary list generated by Windows, this is the list I am looking to modify.
    I have an .mp3 editor named Goldwave that I use for editing audio files, however, I do not want to change the preliminary program Windows uses to open .mp3s. My .mp3s should remain assigned to Winamp Player.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
