How to Add or Remove 'Give access to' Context Menu in Windows 10


The share individual files and foldersand even entire librarieswith other users. The options you'll see in the Give access to menu will depend on the file, folder, or drive you're sharing and the type of network (homegroup , workgroup, or domain) your computer is connected to.

There are some locations in Windows that, for security reasons, can't be shared directly using the "Give access to" context menu. For example, if you attempt to share a drive or system folders (ex: Program Files, Users, and Windows, etc.). To share these locations, you must use Advanced sharing instead.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the Give access to context menu and Sharing tab in Properties for all users in Windows 10.

You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to add or remove the "Give access to" context menu.

*note This will not affect the Share tab on the ribbon of File Explorer.

The most common "Give access to" menu options are:

• Stop sharing = This option makes an item private so only you have access.
• Homegroup (view) = This option makes an item available to your homegroup with read-only permission.
• Homegroup (view and edit) = This option makes an item available to your homegroup with read/write permission.
• <User Name> = This option gives read-only sharing permission to the selected user (ex: Brink2). Afterwards, you can remove the user or change the permission level for the user in the File Sharing wizard.
• Specific people = This option opens the File Sharing wizard, so you can choose particular people to share with.

Starting with Windows 10 build 16226, the Share with context menu has been renamed to Give access to.

CCC Context menu

I was recently greeted to a new entry in my desktop context menu after installing 8.12 drivers with the Catalyst Control Center:





I have no idea what the second entry does, since clicking it results in nothing happening.
So I open up CCC and find this new section:





It's completely disabled. I only have a single HD3850. The IGP on my mobo is nVidia, which is disabled anyway.

I spent the last hour or so finding a way to remove the second entry, and this is the only thing I could find:
Deleting this key removes both entries from the context menu
Code: KEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ACE[/quote] This solved one problem and caused another. I do not like the tray icon, so I have it disabled, so the only way I know to get into CCC is via the context menu. Does anyone know of a way to disable just the "Configure Additive Graphics" entry and keep the CCC entry?

If I kept both disabled, is there some sort of shortcut I could make to get there instead? I don't want to have to go to Display->Settings->Advanced->CCC every time.
EDIT: Just made a hotkey to get there. *Smile

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
