Probably, every user of a personal computer was always interested in learning how to add context menu items or simply edit the entire menu (remove unnecessary items, add the necessary shortcuts). It turns out this is made possible with registry editing programs. By the way, one of these programs is already included in any Windows operating system.

Regedit software
Instructions
Step 1
Have you ever noticed that some context menu items appear after installing certain programs? For example, the WinRar program known to most users, which performs the functions of an archiver, after its installation, integrates one submenu or a full set of commands in the context menu of a folder or file. For any type of extension, you can assign a mapping to any program or edit the old values.
Step 2
To create a new mapping for a specific file type, you must launch the Integrated Registry Editor. Click the Start menu, select Run. In the window that opens, enter the regedit command and click the "OK" button.
Step 3
In the main window of the registry editor, go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT branch, then select the "*" section. Create a shell subkey in this folder if you don't have one. Create a subsection with an unused name in the system, for example, rar (let's assume that the archiver is not yet installed on our system).
Step 4
In the new folder you will see only one option "Default", double click on it and rename it to "Archive to RAR". In the rar section, you need to create a command subkey. Open the "Default" parameter and rename it to "rar a abc% 1" The value "abc" denotes the name of the archive to be created, the value "% 1" gives the name of our file that will be added to the archive.
Step 5
You can also create an analogue of your actions. Create any text document and copy the following values:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT * shell
ar]
@ = "Archive to RAR" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT * shell
arcommand]
@ = "rar a abc% 1"
Click the File menu, select Save As, enter the file name Context.reg. Run the newly created file and click the "OK" button when prompted to enter information into the system registry.
