ODC Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I want a right-click option for .ISO files to be sent to my favorite burning application.[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Burn with Nero][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Burn with Nero\Command]@="nero.exe /w %1"However, this adds the menu option to all files. I only want the option to display for .ISO and .NRG files. How?ETA: If I use ".iso" instead of the "*" above, I don't get a menu option for .iso files.
ODC Posted April 27, 2005 Author Posted April 27, 2005 OK, the problem seems to be from WinRAR not letting the menu options appear if I use the .iso location in the registry. If I rename default for the .iso folder in the registry from "WinRAR" to something like "Optical Disc Image", then my custom menu items appear. Why is this? Seems odd that if a filetype has a default action than no other menu items will appear in the context menu. Oh well...
KJxp Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 The HKCR\.iso key should contain a (default) entry which points to some other key (Mine is EasyCDCreator.DiscImage.5, but it can be anything) under *that* key should go the "Shell\Burn with Nero\Command" stuff

Noise Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 You don't really need to directly edit the registry to do this. I always find it easier to use the old fashoned way:Open Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/{File types}. Select the entry for ISO and click "Advanced".Click 'New' and name it "Open with Nero"In the Application area enter: "C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\nero.exe" /w "%1"
SiMoNsAyS Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 What does the "/w %1" switches at the end mean?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>/w to open the file and "%1" means the path to the file selected whith your rightclick.
