Add to right click menu?

Post by PeterL »

I have searched the forum but cannot find the method for adding commands to the right click menu such as: Winzip, Send To (create shortcut) and New (folder)

Perhaps I should be more specific. I gave up Powerdesk for XYPlorer but there are options I really miss. When I right click a folder in Powerdesk I have the options: Powerdesk/New Folder and when I right click a file I have the options: Sendto/desktop (create shortcut) and Winzip (Extract to here) Can I add those to XYPlorer's right click menu?

+1 for you.
Custom context menu, which allow loading scripts, will add tons of functionality.

btw, is there any connection between PeterH and PeterL (both are users in this forum)?

Already possible: add "Open With..." to the context menu in Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Custom items in shell context menu. Then you have all scripts in PFA available.

Ah, yes the PFA is very good for files. But PFA is not available for folders, right?

Not in the tree, but in the list yes.

I wouldn't expect so :D

I think the chance would be much bigger if it would be PeterH and KlausH :biggrin:

Oh, I found it. A single back slash indicates folder. i.e: \>E:\7Utilities\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
