= Free Context Menu Apps (Part) Batch =

[Dos_Probie]

The Context Menu is one powerful under utilized windows feature that we tend to overlook.
It can be used to launch your favorite batch file, portable apps, full installed programs etc.
Just use your imagination and launch any native windows app or one of your own favorites..

So with Christmas almost upon us and in the spirt of giving I thought I would share a quick and
easy way to launch some of my favorite context menu apps (see list below) via the desktop context menu.
Just download the below link (good til 12.27) and check it out.. Enjoy!
- Sticky Notes
- NotePad++
- Calculator
- Backup Desktop
- Eject DVD-RW Tray
- Radio-Music
- CCleaner

Excuse me, I don't understand the "via Batch" part of your topic title. I think your context menu application is not based on a .BATch file...

An equivalent menu system entirely written in native Batch code is described at this post.

Yes, the thread title is a bit deceiving.

Well the backup.bat, eject.bat and radio.bat or all run via batch from the context menu,
as far as the .reg files that could easily be done via batch as well like below script example
if you want it a all Totally batch generated script .. apples oranges

Code: Select all

:: ADD TO CONTEXT MENU ::
REG ADD "HKCR\DesktopBackground\Shell\Eject DVD-RW Tray" /v Icon /d "shell32.dll,-165" /t REG_SZ /f>nul
REG ADD "HKCR\DesktopBackground\Shell\Eject DVD-RW Tray\command" /d "Eject.bat" /t REG_SZ /f>nul

I am not a big fan of downloading files from a person I don't know so if you have batch code to do something then post the code here inside code tags.

That's interesting, I have been a member on this forum longer that you have, and you have responded on many of my posts so if you or having a computer problem downloading on here then just DO NOT download , rather than telling everyone not to Upload!
anyway, you and your family have a wonderful and happy holiday!
