How to add a Command Window to the Right-Click Menu

cmdbox.gifAs I delve further and further into how computers work and I began to get involved in a more technical projects, I find myself more and more with the command prompt window. These days, the command prompt window is a kind of obsolete by the fact that everything can be done by clicking on a link or icon. Let's face it, why type in C: \ Program Files \ Skype \ Skype.exe in the command box when you can just go to the Start menu and click on the link?Says there are many people out there who use the command prompt box to perform their own scripts, and you also have the command prompt window in the Windows registry. But once you start using the command prompt window more than a few times, it gets tiring going to the Start menu, select "Run" and type "cmd". Would not it be better and faster to right-click on a hard drive folder (or your desktop trash bin) and open a command prompt window on your right-click menu? I'm sure they prefer. Before we go any further, I want to emphasize that the following process involves making a few changes to your Windows registry. If you are unsure about what you do, make a backup of your registry in case things go wrong! 1. Go to your Start menu, select "Run" and type "regedit" and then press Enter. Your Windows registry box on the screen.


2. In the left pane window, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Classes/Folder/shell.
3. Make sure the shell folder is chosen, then in the right pane, right-click, choose new then key. Name it command prompt.
4. Select the new key in the left pane and in the right pane, click on the icon. This will open up a box where you type in open command prompt in the “value data” field. Press enter to save it.
5. In that same right-pane window, right-click, choose new then key. Type command in the box. Press enter.

6. Choose this key in the left pane and in the right pane window, click on the icon. In the value data field, type cmd.exe /k pushd %L. Press enter to save it.
7. Close Windows registry and refresh your Windows Explorer.
8. If you now right-click on a folder or on your desktop trash bin, you’ll now see an option which says Open Command Prompt. Choosing that will open a command prompt window.

Windows Registry Tweaks



First edit / customize the "Send To" right click option

If you right-click the file in Windows Explorer, you have the option to "Send to" launch an application or send a file to another folder.


You can remove or add new destinations to go to the next destination Explorer


C: \ Documents andsettings \ username \ Send (replace "username" with your Windows account).

Then open a new instance of Windows Explorer, the program folder that you want to include in the "Send To" folder. Right-click the program file (usually exe file), select the shortcut option and then drag the shortcut to the "Send To" folder. Now, when you right-click on the file "Send To" guide will show you a new shortcut.You can also go to C: \ Documents andsettings \ username \ Send "Send" Shortcut removed.


The second change icons and text


The icons on the desktop too big or too small? You have other font applications and browser windows message? Want to change the desktop background color? All this and more can be changed by right-clicking on the desktop, click "Properties" look, then Advanced.

It's pretty simple, but you'd be surprised how many people do not know how to change the file association. Simply right-click the file, select "Open" and then "select".

Untangle your computer with Unlocker (Mixofyou)

errormessage.pngI bet you have seen the following Windows error message quite a lot :


 It's enough to make you want to rip your hair out in frustration. You want to move, rename or delete a file in your hard drive, but you can not because of your lovely Windows operating system, the file is "being used by another person or program". However, the chances are that the program actually closed in a some obscure system process that will forever and a day to clean. Meanwhile, you want to do something and not a slave to the file immediately Bill Gates by waiting for Windows to tell you when it is ready. This is where Unlocker will quickly be your best buddy.

After installing it, integrate it into your right-click menu of Windows Explorer. Then when you get the dreaded "file is being used by another person or program" error box, just do the following to show that the operating system that is the real boss:

Right-click on the offending file, choose “Unlocker”. The following box will then pop up :

 You'll get a list of all the processes like your file system in place. You can kill or unlock the offending processes (although as far as I can see, both options the same goal), or you can tell Unlocker you want to delete, move or rename the file and Unlocker will do it for you . If you want to remove, and for one reason or another Unlocker can not delete it immediately, it will schedule it to be deleted automatically when your computer boots.

 The program is free, small and constantly updated. This is an absolute dream when your Windows OS decided to start playing and you have to smash something in frustration. Unlocker should be part of everyone's computer set-up.
