I did know how to do this, but I have since forgotten. I'm on XP Pro SP2.

I am wanting to add new entries to the right-click context menu of files in windows. For example, on a .jpg there is currently:

Open
Edit
Print
Resize Pictures
Preview
Refresh Thumbnail

...And I want to add one which says 'Edit with photoshop'. How does one access the settings for this context menu? I looked in filetypes but it only seems to have what it opens with there.

Either do what redduc900 said or do it manually via (in an explorer window): Tools-> Folder Options -> File Types tab -> Click on "advanced" for the file-type you'd like to change. Then you can select or add different context menu options from there.


Now if you want to remove context menu options from the standard right-click menu (like when clicking on the desktop), you'll want to get shellexview.
