Too much content in the right-click menu is hard to find and add a bright icon, okay?

Perhaps it is to make it more convenient for everyone to operate in Windows. The right-click menu of the mouse is getting longer and longer with the change of the system version. It is really difficult for a friend with bad eyes to find the item you want at a glance, like this editor. People who wear glasses about the thickness of the bottom of the bottle are even more uncomfortable, just a word of blindness!

At this point, we must praise the third-party software. Every time they add a corresponding option in the mouse menu, a small icon will be added to make it easier for everyone to distinguish. Since they can do it, we can follow the example and add icons to the commonly used right-click menu functions of the mouse to quickly locate them when using them. Come, everyone first write down a few registry locations:

1. In the right-click menu, the key value position under "New"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

2. File right-click menu key position

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

3. The key position of the right-click menu of the folder

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

If you want to add an icon to the right-click menu of which location, you must first locate the above-mentioned registry location and perform the following operations without making any mistakes. The first thing you need to do is to prepare the icon file, make it yourself, and search on the Internet. The minimum requirement is 32×32 resolution, 72dpi or more, and the file extension is .ico. Places that are easily deleted or moved.

Then open the registry (Enter regedit after the Win+R key combination) and locate the specific location. Let me first take the encryption that appears by right-clicking the folder with the mouse as an example. enter directly

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Find the "EncryptionMenu" item on the left, and create a new string value named "Icon" on the right side. For the numeric data, fill in the specific path where you store the icon, and write the name and extension of the icon file on.

The last thing is to restart the computer or log off the current account to see the effect of the modification. It's okay. Apart from the need for patience, there are no other shortcomings.
