[attachment deleted by admin]Intriguing....I never thought of that...

TweakUI, the Windows XP Powertoy, can do it.

If you're looking for a way to do it via the Registry, don't. It's not worth it.Thought about bringing that up, and yea...registry is not worth it for such a simple operation.thanks guys
links above were really  helpfulyou can USE this anyway:

Code: [Select]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bat\ShellNew]
"Data"="echo off"
"ItemName"="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\notepad.exe,-470"
i have it like this and it works

sorry devcom
i  copied your CODES in  a reg  key   and execute it but i dont have  it in  my  right click why?
should i  restart my  win xp?

i  dont want  .bat in  my  new
i want to  add one program.bat  in  my  right clickok, so you need to look for app ShellExView, this should help you

Code: [Select]http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.htmldo you mean to add FILES to a right click menu like this?

yes BatchFileBasics
i  need it  to  be avtive both  on  folders and files
thanks if you  van  make a script i will  be greatfullwell this is for the "all' files but not folders:
and you save it in notepad as "anything.REG"
Code: [Select]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Name of command\command]
="\"c:\\path of file\\file.bat\" \"%1\""

replace "Name of command" with what you want the right click descipt to be.
but leave alone the "command" at the end

Code: [Select]="\"c:\\path of file\\file.bat\" \"%1\""
adds the key to the registry.
your normal file would be c:\path of file\file.bat
but all the \ mean to not count as a new command\line

regularly it is :
Code: [Select]"c:\path of file\file.bat\" "%1"
but you need the slashes so:
Code: [Select]"\"c:\\path of file\\file.bat\" \"%1\"
it worked thanks my  dear BatchFileBasics
i  have  my.bat file in  my right click options now
i am  satisfied now
thank you  againyou are all welcome to whom gave me a thanked up.


and mioo_sara, welcome to the forums I know this is an older post, but i tired and have one issue. When i right click a blank area, there is no "Create New BAT" like registry specified. It simply added an option for when i right click an file. Has anyone got this to work on the right click menu or the "File>new" menu?

Here is my REG file:
Code: [Select]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Create New BAT\command]
="\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\mhofmann\\My Documents\\Test\\file.bat\" \"%1\""


Thanks for the help!
