Windows 10: Create a cascaded menu in modern Windows 11 context menu.

How can I create a cascaded menu via the registry in the modern Windows 11 context menu with at least two options? I want to do more.I have tried doing this several different ways, but I have never been able to get this to work.One would think that this should be built-in functionality as requiring a 3rd party dll for this when the menu is static seems overkill and has the potential for excessive memory usage.I appreciate any feedback that can be offered.Thank you.

Cascade Windows Desktop Context Menu

The "Cascade Windows" item in the taskbar context menu, is there a way to put that in the desktop background context menu?

 

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

 

Cascading menu for text editors


There was this for XP...
Mmm FREE Download

and shelltoys allowed moving context menu items to a 'Rarely used' folder.

Trying to find something current may be hard.

You might want to consider which editors are relevant to which extensions.

This suggests extensive registry hacking (I provide it merely on an indicative basis):
