XYplorer Beta Club

Please implement support for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex extensions[MSDN].

Thanks!

Currently, XY doesn't support HKCR\Directory\Background.

If you want the context menu as defined by HKCR\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers there are a few ways to achieve this.

Please see this thread for more discussion: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8551

There are numerous ways to get that menu though.

1. Obviously, right-click on the folder in the tree.
2. Right-click the folder's icon in the address bar.
3. Set the following INI tweak to 1:

   Code: Select all

   ; Tweak: 0=Edit menu, 1=Folder's shell menu, 2=Favorites, 3=reserved, 4=Tabs
   CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=1

EDIT: Clarification.

I was not aware of CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite.

Thanks!

Can I disable the items

[pre]Restore previous versions
Cut
Copy
Create shortcut
Delete
Rename[/pre]

from the background context menu? or disable their access key?

AFAIK, those are system wide and not accessable to XY...I may be wrong but that's my understanding.

j_c_hallgren is correct.

Why disable them?
