Context Menu / Missing entries

Post by IronJosie »

Hello,

I have some items missing in the context menu, both in 32bit and 64bit.
For example I have the application IObit Unlocker (https://www.iobit.com/en/iobit-unlocker.php), which is shown when one ore more file(s)/folder(s) are selected. This shell extension is shown/loaded via the registry entry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\UnLockerMenu

Can this be shown somehow?

I can't get IObit Unlocker to work in XYplorer either, but can in another 64-bit file manager. Based on this, IObit Unlocker isn't hardcoded to work only in Windows Explorer (like Norton among others).

The same happens by the way with 2BrightSparks' HashOnClick, part of their OnClick Utilities.

While you could make your own context menu for it, it wouldn't work as the original one (it doesn't show any gui but only a requester if the action was successful or not)...

This would be saved as a .reg file and then merged via right click and the context menu item "Merge"

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; File(s)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\IObit Unlocker (Own)]
"Icon"=""
"Position"="Top"
@="IObit Unlocker (Own)"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\IObit Unlocker (Own)\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IObit\\IObit Unlocker\\IObitUnlocker.exe\" /None \"%1\""

; Folder(s)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\IObit Unlocker (Own)]
"Icon"=""
"Position"="Top"
@="IObit Unlocker (Own)"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\IObit Unlocker (Own)\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IObit\\IObit Unlocker\\IObitUnlocker.exe\" /None \"%1\""
