How to ensure context menu entries picks up directory against which it is right clicked
Details for the context menu are held in the windows registry. Use the registry editor (carefully) to modify the windows registry.- Find the registry key of the program/utility e.g. "RenamerNG".
- Use regscanner, part of the nirsoft utilities set, rather than registry editor direct. When it finds a string and you click on that string, regscanner opens registry editor for that string. e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\RenamerNG\command with the program name (and its directory location) data field e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\RenamerNG\RenamerNG.exe
- Add %0 to the end of the data field e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\RenamerNG\RenamerNG.exe %0.
- This %0 parameter collects the directory against which it is right clicked
