ODC Posted April 27, 2005 Share 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 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJxp Posted April 27, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted April 27, 2005 Share 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 What does the "/w %1" switches at the end mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted April 27, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
