Reg File for Setting up FileMenu for Folders

Keywords: 	 filemenu.reg FileMenu Registry

Question:

How do I set up FileMenu up for folders?

There is something about adding a key to the DIRECTORY key in the registry?

Answer:

For directories, add FileMenu key under:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

For drives, add FileMenu key under:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

You can import the following REG file to enable FileMenu being activated when you right-click on a directory as well as when you right-click on a file.
The same rules for local menu files apply to directories as to files, but since directory names don't generally have extensions the appropriate entry in FILEMENU.INI to specify a local menu to apply to directories would be:
```
   [Menus]
   . = dir.mnw
```
```
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\FileMenu]
@="{53250000-cca9-11ce-946f-444553540000}"
```
