This registry setting allows you to add a new file extension and file type that is currently not not available in your windows system, and adds inside your right click 'New' context menu .

Many time we needs a file to store our personal data, notes, reminders, appointments etc.. n which wants to identify easily in our system files..

By using this setting you can make your own file type n extension for your daily use :)

5] on right side pane double click on (Default) to modify '(Default)' value to file write as 'notefile'
(Do not use any spaces between file type value, you can use any other value too like myfile, mynotes so on..)
You just added file extension, now you need to set data for your file type..
6] Now go back to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key..
7] Create New Key by right click
8] write 'notefile' as key name ( we used 'notefile' is file type for our extension, which is same as where we set step 5, if you used any other file type write this same value as your key name)
9] On right side pane, double click on '(Default)' n set description for your file Like 'My note file'
( here you can use spaces)
10] then right click in blank space at right side pane n add new DWORD value, write 'BrowserFlags' as name, double click on BrowserFlags to modify n set Hexadecimal value '8' (Eight)

Last week i got new hack to change the position for open with and winRAR context menu..
I just added single DWORD value in CLSID of open with n winRAR and it works perfect in a single try..
So i like it share with you..

Lets start..
follow my few steps and change your context menu position...

Settings:-

1] Start > Run > regedit> hit Enter
2] Registry > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > go to 'CLSID' key

for Open with..
3] CLSID > find & select {09799AFB-AD67-11d1-ABCD-00C04FC30936}
(to find press ctrl+F, look at only keys)
4] On right side pane you will see '(Default)' string value like 'Open With Context Menu Handler'
means your at right key
5] Right click in right side pane > add New > DWORD value
6] Name it as 'flags' > hit enter to save
7] Double click on flags to modify> set Hexadecimal value '1' (one)
8] Now refresh your desktop n check context menu

for WinRAR...
3] CLSID > find & select {B41DB860-8EE4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}
4] Right click in right side pane > add New > DWORD value
6] Name it as 'flags' > hit enter to save
7] Double click on flags to modify> set Hexadecimal value '1' (one)

Remember:
1] if you set flags to '0' (zero) - Your selected context menu will be display under Rename menu
2] if you set flags to '1' (one) - Your selected context menu will be display with sendTo, copy to folder n move to folder (like in image)
3] if you set flags to '2' (two) - It display at default position

This setting allows you to assign any file on your computer a new right-click menu (context menu) entry.
This entry is named "Open with..."

By using this menu you can open any file from any other applications..

For any File:
1] Start > Run > regedit> hit Enter
