CMenuExtender is a shell extension consisting of one executable, one dll and a few documents.

The extension lets the user add items and submenus to the standard Explorer right click-menu (context-menu).

Menus can contain items to start programs, open files, move and copy files and folders, shortcuts and more.

Menus can be edited using a registry editor or using the supplied editor called CMExtEd.

When you add a new item you will be asked some questions, depending on which item you’ve selected. Most items will ask for:

Caption: This is what you see in the menu.
Icon: This is an icon that will be seen next to the menu item.
Description: This will be seen in the status bar of Explorer windows.

CMExtEd will give suggestions for each of them. You can also be asked for a file or folder, if the item requires that. Items that move and copy will also ask if you wan’t old files to be overwritten and, if they should, if Windows should ask for confirmation before overwriting.

Here is a list of the different items that CMExtEd has predefined.

“Move to named folder”: this command will move the selected files and folders to a folder that is selected at design-time.

“Copy to named folder”: it will copy the selected files and folders to a folder that is selected at design-time. Useful for backup-purposes.

“Move to browsed folder” lets the user select a folder, to which the marked files and folder will be moved.

“Copy to browsed folder” lets the user select a folder, to which the marked files and folder will be copied.

“Open folder as container” will open a folder selected at design-time, in a non explorer-style window.

“Explore folder” will open a folder selected at design-time, in an Explorer window.

“Open file” will open a file that was selected at design-time, in its registered application, i.e. Word for *.doc, etc.
