This code works fine for me in 10:

Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\NotePad] @="&Note Pad" "Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe" "Position"="Top" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\NotePad\command] @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe"[/quote]
