drag and dropright clickwindowswindows 7
In the Windows registry, where can I find the Context Menu items for Explorer right mouse button drag & drop?
In Windows Explorer when you right-click and hold on a folder then move the cursor to desktop you get a "Move here", "Copy here", etc menu. I would like to add items or see what items are there.
Right-click the filename, not anything else.
The registry entries you should specifically look at are:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell (for specific file types)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers (also for specific file types)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\ShellEx (for all context menus)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell (for folders)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers (also for folders)
Remember to always backup your registry before editing it by going to File > Export... in the regedit.exe application.
Or if you prefer to do it using an application (which apparently you don't but I'll put it in here anyway):
You can use ShellExView and ShellMenuView to see a list of all current (and past, as long as the entries have not been removed) context menu items and disable or enable them from there.
