Rhino,
Trouble with hacking a dll is tomorrow there may be an update to it and change the dll so you would then have to re-do your hack. I personally can do without. Yes you can use resource hacker and mod the shell32.dll

[Rhino]

OK, I can do without as well. It's not that important. I'll try making a folder instead - it's just to get those 'dangerous' shortcuts a little out of the way - but still easy to access.

[Rhino]

Hmm.. think I misunderstood the AnyFolder tweak - I thought it was in the My Computer right click menu. I'll figure something else out.

Thanx for now

Edit: My final solutions is very close to your first example maxXPsoft. Just needed some more space in my opinion . So now it's [ Reboot ] & [ Shutdown ].

[maxXPsoft]

The Anyfolder is on right click Start, where Open, Explore is. Its just a simple shortcut to any thing you want. You can actually put the Reboot, Shutdown there also if you wanted. Just save's step's instead of Start, Shutdown (select option) Ok
good grief make it easy i wanna reboot test this tweak kind of thing.

Swap em which ever way you want, add it to My Computer also but mine's kinda crowded since i have so much there. With the CMenuExtender folder's and file's have their own bit of stuff also. The Right click context menu in my Sig.

It's just a matter of setting Window's to work the way you want it to.

[Rhino]

Allright

I like it as it is now ... works well.

Thanx for your support

[snakefood]

Wow...i thought i knew a fair bit about windows.....

You guys have got loads of pukka tweaks here, thanx to all of you.

I esp like the add/remove proggies and device manager.

[maxXPsoft]

add/remove is very useful from MY PC if you're working in Explorer so you can clean up any extra file's

[Echolomax]

anybody knows how to make this tweak in every right click?

Might look at that.

[DigeratiPrime]

[EDIT] Thanks maxXPsoft!

[DigeratiPrime]

Very Sorry, it does work.

I had renamed it back to My Computer already once, and then named it "wrong", in that situation the tweak didnt work. New VMachine later and it works great, THANKS AGAIN!

[maxXPsoft]

hehe
I been there. That's why I want a way back if I don't like

[maxXPsoft]

Been meaning to get around to this. Reboot and Shutdown on Right click Start Button.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;ADD Reboot and Shutdown to right click START

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\_Reboot]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\_Reboot\Command]
@="shutdown -r -f -t 5"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\_Shutdown]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\_Shutdown\Command]
@="shutdown -s -f -t 5"

[Paul 365]

The Problem with "My Computer" being renamed is caused by the first section of the "Registry Editor" tweak.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
"LocalizedString"=hex(2):25,55,53,45,52,4e,41,4d,45,25,27,73,20,43,6f,6d,70,75,74,65,72,00

When i removed that section from

;REGEDIT

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
"LocalizedString"=hex(2):25,55,53,45,52,4e,41,4d,45,25,27,73,20,43,6f,6d,70,75,74,65,72,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\regedit]
@="Registry"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\regedit\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\Regedit.exe"

The Problem went away and the link to the editor was still working.

Not sure what that line was meant to do or what other repercussions there might be though.

[maxXPsoft]

@="My Computer" @ means default value
I checked 2 PC's here that haven't had anything done to them and they both have that reg value. I also freshly installed XP/SP2 on mine and it's present. Maybe diff pc's and different thing's done to them amount to diff stuff happening. who can know for sure

Another one to add to the collection... the ability to launch Tweak UI from right-clicking on My Computer...

;Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Adds Tweak UI to right click of My Computer. 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\tweak]
@="Tweak UI"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\tweak\command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\tweakui.exe"

Note the intentional semi-colon infront of the first line, this ensures accidental merging with the registry.

Have fun

How do I get this to work? Also, if I do this, will it still change the name of "My Computer"? Thanks.

That didn't work here for Device Manager
I use

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr]
@="Device Manager"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr\command]
