Windows 10: Show files extension toogle in context menu

I wish I've had the option for toggle hide/show files extension by simply push left SHIFT for extended menu anywhere on empty space in a folder or desktop, and choosing it from there, rather than doing it by folder options or the explorer drop down menu with all extra functions over there as it takes to much time everytime I just want to do a fast check of the file extension. I've a registry file found on internet but it doesn't work. Is there such a possibility? Can it be done by registry tweaks? Can anybody help me?

Below is the registry file found on internet.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Code: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\shell\Windows.HideSelected] "Description"="@shell32.dll,-37575" "ExplorerCommandHandler"="{0947c622-f98a-48a5-9df7-60e5fe202e07}" "Icon"="imageres.dll,-5314" "MUIVerb"="Show/hide files extension" "Extended"=""[/quote]

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

 

How to fix 'Open with' on file context menu.

Only if things are working correctly. Here's a few things I notice:

1. When I go into 'Default Programs' and change .txt files to use another program I do get a list of other programs that I can use to open the .txt file. This list is what should appear on the 'Open with' context menu in File Manager.

2. The extensions with the 'Open with' problem also don't have 'Open' on the context menu. It should be the first entry on the list. I can still click on the file and it will open with he default program.

Got to be something in the Registry. I thought I would find under .txt in the Registry an Openwith List with wordpad and notepad. But there isn't any even on my VM Windows where 'Open with' works fine.

 

CAB file - Add Install to Context Menu in Windows 10


Ah, ok. That was just an example.

Merging the .reg file in step 2 should have added "Install" to the context menu of .cab files for you.

As a test, you could just rename a new .txt file's extension to .cab to see if "Install" is added or not.
