If MHz doesn't mind I have upped the latest version to my ISPs free webspace, mirror, if you can it might be better to add it to the front page.

Thanks for the help, benners. Link added to 1st page. This should help until hosting issue is fixed.

Thanks for a great program

Is there anyway to force it to launch when i just right click the desktop, so i can use it to launch some of my small apps that have no installer or start menu entries.

Many thanks

It is already in your right-click menu when you have installed it. You can look in the More Options branch for the CMenu subbranch which has the Help Guide. This will let you know of the CMenu Editor. The editor can add programs to the contextmenu, and allows a parameter to be passed to the program added to launch it.

It's not there for me, Only when i right click a folder or files does the more options show up.

What i would like is for it to show up when i right click empty space on my desktop.

Just file and folder handling. That is the limitation of it.

i read through most of this thread, but not all, so i apologize if this has been requested before...

in order of importance...

add CMenu to context menu when clicking on empty area of desktop/explorer

the ability to drag and drop CMenu menu items within the editor (otherwise have to delete and add new if wanting to move an item).

the ability to save the CMenu registry entries (as *.reg, etc.) for when a reinstall is necessary, etc..

the ability to manage the whole explorer context menu, not just CMenu items -- and i understand that this may be an unreasonable request.

what a cool tool!

As mentioned a couple of posts back. Just file and folder handling. That is the limitation of it.

Sounds nice, but the editor will not be changed.

Look in the help guide under Installation topic. This was added some versions ago.

This has a connection to the 2nd request, as I did not create the editor nor the shell extension dll that allows CMenu to operate. Unless Revenger.inc decide to upgrade them, then this is best result available. I will not alter either of these 2 files.

Thanks for the idea's though.
And I liked your can of.... line. :lol:

is that a limitation by choice, or another reason?

i ask because i've inserted a few frequently used apps into the menu and it would be great to launch them anywhere, at anytime :)

@urie
Thanks. I have noticed the problem myself. Inno Setup v5.1.5 and up need different identification and innounp to work with. It will be fixed in the next version.

@atomizer
The shell extension is not of my creation, so I have no choice available. Information is passed from the extension to CMenu.exe. Choice is available with CMenu.exe that I created. If the entension is not shown on the area or selection, then CMenu is unavailable.

The author's webpage is here.

Nagging may prove useless? :(

MHz, don't mean to be a pest, but i'm sure you realize that the source for CMenuExtender is available. is there something in the license that would prevent you from modifying and redistributing it perhaps?

I will not alter the shell extension library. This would affect the editor, perhaps a rewrite of CMenu to acommodate the changes...
The current extension works fine. This is my final discision on this matter.

Thanks MHz :thumbup

This is really a great product. I find myself using it more and more everyday and the majority of my work isn't UA stuff!

Keep up the good work! :yes:

Ps. what do you think about having people contribute "add-ons" or features they've developed themselves to work w/CMenu? Any interest? Anyone?

Glad you like it.
I do not have a Windows XP X64 system to test on. I would assume that it will work, but cannot be certain of it.
