Adding entries that appear only under certain file type

General Add comments

I recently wanted to add an item to my context (Right-mouse) menu for opening a JPEG file.

If you want to add an entry on a Context menu that appears on just one type of file or a few different types of files. I will show you how to easily to add (or remove) it using the context editor in Folder Options.

  1. Open up My Computer.
  2. Click on the Tools menu, select Folder Options, and click on the File Types tab.
  3. Scroll though the list of file types and select the extension that you would like to modify.
  4. Click the Advanced button to bring up the Edit File Type window. This is where you will see a list of all of the different entries that will show up in the context menu, shown here:
  5. Edit File Type window that displays a list of all of the entries in a text document's Context menu.

  6. Just press the New button, give the menu item a description, then select the program you want to use and click OK.
  7. Click OK and you are finished.
