  2. 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 Windows 10/11 context menu freeze on right clic only on file not folder :(

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Right Clicking User Folder Freezes Context Menu

    Hello,

    Some info up front:

    1) I did a clean install a few weeks ago. I've made minimal changes - nothing intrusive, certainly (well, see below). This morning I was changing the location of the User Folders found under This PC in Windows Explorer. I have 2 hard drives, C and D. For
    instance, I changed the location of Documents from CWindows 10/11 context menu freeze on right clic only on file not folder :Documents to DWindows 10/11 context menu freeze on right clic only on file not folder :Documents.

    2) I've since tried various scans and have tried using shellexview to disable non-Windows context menu items. I've tried Safe Mode, and the problem goes away (while in Safe Mode). I tried SFC /SCANNOW from https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2895-run-sfc-command-windows-10-a.html,
    and also tried the DISM stuff they talk about on there.

    3) I've tried basically the top 5 results for various searches like "windows 10 right clicking folder freezes" and "windows 10 change user folder location". I've tried more search criteria than that - those are just examples.

    4) Windows is installed on C.

    Now, the issue(s):

    1) When I right click on my (now redirected) User Folders under This PC, the context menu freezes.

    2) Additionally, when I try to run Powershell normally or as an admin, it automatically closes. I tried researching this issue briefly, with no immediate luck.

    3) Another issue I found was that setting my desktop background as a slideshow using a folder located in my D drive did not work. I ended up changing the owner of my D drive from Administrators to my own account, and this resolved my slideshow background
    issue.

    If you're a Microsoft employee or community manager or the like, please do not point me at Microsoft's generic context menu and system file fixes. Half the time the links people are given just take you to the Help Center front page. Microsoft's help center
    is basically worthless without the community. If you're not going to read what I've written here, then don't bother responding. If you do respond and it's clear you haven't read this, then a thousand plagues upon your family name.
