Default Re: TUTORIAL: Add DEVICE MANAGER, CONTROL PANEL, Etc. in My Computer Context Menu !

Than U all of U...
If u liked the above mentioned trick, then u'll surely like this one also:

Adding Shortcuts to Drives in My Computer COntext Menu

1.) Open regedit and nevigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\Shell\

2.) Now create a new Key under it, give any name to it, like Shortcut1, etc.

3.) Select this new key and in right-side pane change the value of Default Value to any of ur desired value (Actually this is the label which will be displayed when u'll right-click on my computer). So give it any name like Shortcut to C: Drive.

4.) Now create another key under the previously created key and give it name command.

5.) Select this key and change its default value to:

C:\Windows\explorer.exe C:\

And now u'll get an entry in My computer context menu, which will let u go to C: Drive.

PS: U can do the same for other drives too. Simply change the label and command. In Command change only the last character saying the drive number, e.g., for D: drive it'll be C:\Windows\explorer.exe D:\.
