IF USING AN OLD VER RUN THE UNINSTALL BEFORE INSTALLING A NEW VER

This is a batch file i made to install a tools menu i made. it came to be out of me being lazy and not wanting to have to open menus or hold shift
i did not make the scripts that some of the options use(credit is in the script).
see pictures to see the options and what it looks like in the end

IF ON WINDOWS RT YOU MUST BE JAILBROKEN TO USE. Thanks GoodDayToDie, it is now perfect :p

Looks cool.

So imagine I copy a registry key to my clipboard, does this regedit command capture it and open directly ? I checked, it only opens registry. Wonder if this MJ snippet would work in RT.

http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/38208

FYI, I don't prefer to kill-explorer like that, I think some settings that are not finalized until logoff can be lost when doing so, so instead I just logoff. But to each his own.


You can also change the position setting and the flyout will move to top or bottom of your menu. Make change in same key as the muiverb.

Code: 
[FONT=monospace]
[/FONT][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\Tools]
"MUIVerb"="Tools"
"SubCommands"="regedit.Tools;Open Admin Cmd here.Tools;Open Cmd Here.Tools;Files Extensions.Tools;Hidden Files.Tools;Restart Explorer.Tools"
"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\tools.ico"
"Position"="Top"
I forget the trick to add an extra divider line.

EDIT: I've never been able to get more then 12 subcommands even with nested flyouts, if anyone knows how I am all ears.

tbh the reason i didnt put a position in is i couldnt decide where i wanted it and where it was worked with the rest of the stuff in my context.
as for restarting explorer i run in testmode 24/7 so after i remove the watermarks i just restart explorer rather then logging off. its also helpful if explorer decides to lock up.

well i was bored so i added the option to choose position to it

That sounds like you have to do it every reboot. Are the mui files protected in RT and we are unable to edit the watermark permanently ?

If I write a snip to add powershell run-as admin would you add it to your Tool™

edit one
i was able to get the admin cmd to work without the need of the extra files so those have been removed. i will be uploading it in a few min


edit two
new ver is uploaded, i added a ver number to it to help me keep track of it. you will have to run the uninstall part in the old one first before running the install on this as i have removed some unneeded stuff

That's a different way of doing it. Lately for elevation most people are using APPCOMPATFLAGS or an inline elevator script. Had never seen an example using just "ExplorerCommandHandler" and "ImpliedSelectionModel" settings before.

http://windowssucks.wordpress.com/file-type-registration/

Does that only work on newer builds, I searched my W7x64 registry for that canonical GUID (the powershell one) didn't come up with anything. Where did you find it.

i found it in a program that adds items to the context menu but when it added powershell it would crash explorer so i used it as a base and started messing with it until it worked without crashing explorer(fun times). im not sure if it works in windows 7 as im on 8.1

Understood, not available in W7, likely only 8.0 and up. I find it here in W8.1.

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BF0AC53F-D51C-419F-92E3-2298E125F004}]
@="Open Powershell as Admin Command"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BF0AC53F-D51C-419F-92E3-2298E125F004}\InProcServer32]
@=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\
  00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,73,00,68,00,\
  65,00,6c,00,6c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

Maybe can even use the GUID list of control panel items the same way.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee330741(v=vs.85).aspx

Code: 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\OAPS.Tools]
"ImpliedSelectionModel"=dword:00000001
"Icon"="imageres.dll,-5373"
"ExplorerCommandHandler"="{BF0AC53F-D51C-419F-92E3-2298E125F004}"
@="Admin Pshell Here"
and I remembered how to do the divider line trick.

Code: 
"SubCommands"="regedit.Tools;|;OACh.Tools;OCH.Tools;|;OAPS.Tools;|;FE.Tools;HF.Tools;|;RE.Tools"
Think you can get rid of the Restart_Explorer.bat with this.

http://www.robvanderwoude.com/condexec.php

Code: 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\RE.Tools]
"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe"
"MUIVerb"="Restart Explorer"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\RE.Tools\command]
@="taskkill /f /im explorer.exe && start explorer.exe"
and this could toggle file extensions, without the .vbs

Code: 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\FE.Tools]
"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\file.ico"
"MUIVerb"="Files Extensions"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\FE.Tools\command]
@="start /wait /b powershell -command \"$check = (Get-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced' -Name 'HideFileExt').HideFileExt;if ($check -eq 0){Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced' -Name 'HideFileExt' -Value 1} else {Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced' -Name 'HideFileExt' -Value 0}\""

On the file extension, I forget the refresh. Here is the snip, it goes somewhere near the end. FYI, I need rewrite it registry > cmd > powershell escape character safe.

I want to be sure it's just the refresh causing the problem and that the registry still got toggled, proving the powershell did run in the background and was not stopped by execution policy. Will you confirm by running the old script and manually hitting refresh.


Code: 
;[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.Windows.Forms');[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait('{F5}');

So you are on 8.1 RT, with powershell policy enabled and it still doesn't work.

Been bing'ing around for RT Powershell Limitations and it seems Microsoft might be the reason it doesn't work. Don't have RT hardware to test, cannot find a VM emulator either.

    My point was that the initial bug report *explicitly* said that the script was being run as Administrator... and you either just ignored that part or assumed they were lying. Not cool. Then you make it worse by refusing to acknowledge simple facts even when the person politely points out that they have, in fact, read and followed the readme, and again accuse them of not doing so. The "perfect" comment came from your astonishingly arrogant comment
    that error only comes up when you don't follow the readme............. By you getting that error you are not following the first step
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    . Not "Hmm, that error message is supposed to mean something in the check for Admin failed" or "that's weird; if you run it as Admin you shouldn't ever see that error". Nope, just "there's only one thing that could cause that (because the code can't possibly have bugs, right?), so it's your fault". You claim you never said it was compatible with RT (this is true, and indeed your earlier versions that had executables in them wouldn't have been without additional hacks) but you never said what it *was* compatible with, nor did you say "well, I never tested it on RT, so maybe that's why you're getting the error?" or something similar.

    Anyhow, peace offering: I can help re-write those scripts so that they work on RT without jailbreaking. There's a standard command-line tool built into nearly all versions of Windows, including RT, called "reg.exe". You can call it just fine from BAT/CMD files, which will work on RT (I've used this trick myself, way back when RT was brand new). Run "reg /?" for usage information. As an example, I'm attaching a script (renamed to .txt so I can attach it here; just remove that part) that implements the hidden-files registry toggle in a way compatible with Windows RT.

    You made a small mistake in Hidden_Files.vbs. If the user click "Hidden Files" in the context menu, it doesn't show SuperHidden files as the Reg variable is always set to 0

    Code: 
    [---]
If Check = 2 Then
Command1.RegWrite Hidden, 1, "REG_DWORD"
Command1.RegWrite SSHidden, [B][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5"]0[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B], "REG_DWORD"  [B][COLOR="Green"][SIZE="5"]<-- Replace 0 by a 1[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]
Else
Command1.RegWrite Hidden, 2, "REG_DWORD"
Command1.RegWrite SSHidden, [B][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5"]0[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B], "REG_DWORD"
End If
[---]

    However, nice work ;)

    Had the same issue on my PC running Win8.1.

    What I did to solve the missing icons is copied the icons from \Tools_Menu v0.4\Files\Pow to C:\Windows and restart PC. All icons are there.

    Looks cool.

    So imagine I copy a registry key to my clipboard, does this regedit command capture it and open directly ? I checked, it only opens registry. Wonder if this MJ snippet would work in RT.

    FYI, I don't prefer to kill-explorer like that, I think some settings that are not finalized until logoff can be lost when doing so, so instead I just logoff. But to each his own.


    You can also change the position setting and the flyout will move to top or bottom of your menu. Make change in same key as the muiverb.

    Code: 
    [FONT=monospace]
[/FONT][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\Tools]
"MUIVerb"="Tools"
"SubCommands"="regedit.Tools;Open Admin Cmd here.Tools;Open Cmd Here.Tools;Files Extensions.Tools;Hidden Files.Tools;Restart Explorer.Tools"
"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\tools.ico"
"Position"="Top"
    I forget the trick to add an extra divider line.

    EDIT: I've never been able to get more then 12 subcommands even with nested flyouts, if anyone knows how I am all ears.
