Recreate/Sort default Windows context menu entries

Open jamiethomaswhite opened this issue 4 months ago • 8 comments

Currently my solution for the core default Windows context menu entries is simply to hide them all in the "More Options" sub-menu. Which makes an absolute mess of it but at least they're out of sight and still accessible when I need them.

What I want to achieve, is to place all of the default context menu entries back into the main menu but in ways I choose. I want to change the titles, add images, shortcuts, tips etc but mainly, and most of all, I really want to choose the menu sorting order.

I've mocked up what I'm trying to achieve, this is the (non-functioning) code, a lot of which I've already done thanks to RubicBG. https://pastebin.com/siz7cU0v

So far, I cannot find any way to recreate, replicate or sort the core default Windows context menu entries with any reliable certainty. Is it possible?
