Windows 10: Creating a registry key for a universal context menu entry?

I am a constant user of Textpad test editor, in every context, but their setup option to have "Open with Textpad" on every context menu is broken in Windows 10.

Occasionally, I also use Notepad++, but it is not a substitute because of the collection of editing tools, templates, and macros developed over the years. But Notepad++ inserted itself in every context menu of W10 and I tracked down the only two Registry keys involved in their scheme,, and this is what I want to duplicate somehow.
Code: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B298D29A-A6ED-11DE-BA8C-A68E55D89593}\Settings Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B298D29A-A6ED-11DE-BA8C-A68E55D89593}\Settings[/quote] Please note the relationship between the two. The <Subkey name><Value name>=<Value type>:<Value data>
are identical in the two keys, Is this possible for one to do this?

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

Hi, you could try this freeware. List of everything on the left, your 'New' list on the right, + & - to add, delete.
