add CMenu to context menu when clicking on empty area of desktop/explorer
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

As mentioned a couple of posts back. Just file and folder handling. That is the limitation of it.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

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.

MHz - ah, i see. so where does the shell ext. come from (so i can go and nag them)

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?

[MHz]

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.

[MHz]

Updated to version 1.8.
Please see 1st post for information and download link.

Updated and good features added.

[NemoNada]

Thanks MHz

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!

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

hello

first thank you for this very nice program

but i want to ask if it is support windows XP X64

thanks again

[MHz]

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.

Hey MHz!! Wutsup man! You did not tell us that the version 1.9 is out! And it has the "process block" too. Very very cool!

[MHz]

Your just too quick totoymola. I have only just uploaded that recently. Unfortunately due to a bug found , I have done a service release in a v2.0 which I have just uploaded and should be currently fine to download. Yep, It has optional processblock function in AutoIt scripts created.

So officially, go for it.

Actually, the extension does not work fine. Take my word for it, I wrote it. :-)

I haven't looked at the code for years, but unless you made some modifications to it, it could crash Explorer on pre-W2000 if you mark a lot of files, due to overflows in the registry and other oddities. Not that it applies in this particular case though. However, you might want to migrate your stuff to another shell extension than CMenuExtender, since I can't really recommend anyone to use it any longer.

And in answer to another question, the license does not prevent reworking the code and redistribute it, as indeed MHz has already done.

great tool, HOWEVER, 2.0 removed EDIT on my right click context menu, ouch!.
-gotta have edit for .reg .txt, etc to make speedy changes.
...resolve conflict??

Check within Folder Options -> filetypes for correcting those extensions. I see nothing to fix in CMenu.

Added a new version. Check the 1st post for details.

Good Job Mhz.
Thank's for it.

[MHz]

Thanks for the compliment, headroom.

@MHz

Thanks for a great little program. I found it invaluable to speed up some common tasks -- especially after replacing a hard drive, and having to install things again. It sped up some installs considerably.

I do have one question / request: Is there any way to install CMenu to somewhere other than %ProgramFiles%\CMenu ? i.e. specify an install path on first run / install? I did try something like this after installation (by moving the CMenu folder elsewhere, then replacing all the CMenu registry entries I could find to point to the new location, but it seems that the %ProgramFiles%\CMenu path is hard-coded in some places?

Any suggestions / thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance

Currently, there is no option to where CMenu will install. It will install to %ProgramFiles%\CMenu and will operate correctly only from that path. I am unsure currently of changimg this behaviour as the installation routine relies on it. I will look into the possibilities of change and see if it can easily be done, but no promises.

Thanks for the quick response, and thanks for at least looking into the suggestion I offered.

I figured that there was a reason why the particular folder, thanks for clearing it up.

I suppose I can live with CMenu's default install folder for the time being -- After all, certain other programs I have from certain sites *cough*Google*cough* do the same thing (offer no install path customisation)

Thanks again,
