    Shell context menu registry extension doesn't work in Windows 10?


    I'm trying to add "Tail" to the shell context menu for .txt files, but whatever I do the option just does not appear.

    It worked fine in Windows 7. Has this feature been disabled in Windows 10?

    My .reg file looks like:

    Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\Tail] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\Tail\command] @="tail.exe -f \"%1\""[/quote] How can I make it work again?

    :)

  3. After KB3124262 update when I right click on the desktop the options (refresh, change desktop background, etc.) come after a delay of three to four seconds

    If the delay is seen when right-clicking on the Desktop, one of the shell extensions may be causing it... Intel graphics add a shell extension in the Desktop context menu.

    Right-click delays are caused by third-party shell extensions. To identify the culprit, you need to use an utility like ShellExView, and disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers one by one (or disable items in a batch) and observe

    .

    The desktop background context menu loads from these two registry keys, if you want to inspect them manually.

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

    and
