create a new entry in the main contextual menu : a new txt file

#1 create a new entry in the main contextual menu : a new txt file

Posted by: Esgrimidor | Date: 2014-02-19 12:35 | IP: IP Logged

I am trying with lopesoft tools to create an entry in the main contextual menu to create a new pspad txt file. That is create an icon with an empty txt file.

How can i do that.

I think is with a command line or something like that .

By example :
pspad is installed in
c:\program files(86)\pspad
to launch the program the command line is
c:\program files(86)\pspad\pspad.exe
But if i only want to create in the windows explorer an icon representing an empty txt file.... How can i do ?

What is the command ?

Best Regards

I am trying this, but don't find the file :

Y:\PORTABLES\DESARROLLO\psPAD.developer.08.2013\PSPad.exe NewFile.txt
also
"Y:\PORTABLES\DESARROLLO\psPAD.developer.08.2013\PSPad.exe" NewFile.txt
Y:\PORTABLES\DESARROLLO\psPAD.developer.08.2013\PSPad.exe "NewFile.txt"

but always the same message

In Lopesoft i even try the initial folder value :
Y:\PORTABLES\DESARROLLO\psPAD.developer.08.2013

but the error message continues.

Best regards.
i can put screenshots if needed.

I don't understand. When I run PSpad with nonexisting file as parameter, PSPad opens new file with this name.
Try to run it from the command line first.

Hi Contro,

Esgrimidor:

There is already a WinExpl context menu entry "New > Text file"

 
As additon, you can assign PSPad to open TXT files instead the default Notepad.
Just utilize "PSPad > Settings > Program Settings... > System Integretion > [X] Open TXT files"

May be. I'll try and comment. But then may be not useful if a command line parameter don't go en lopesoft.....

smiling smiley yes i am contro. How do you know that ?

Yes. But from the beginning the target is create a new txt file from the main contextual menu, not from the new submenu from the main contextual menu.....

I began to think is an impossible matter......

It isn't problem of Lopesoft or PSpad but your. I downloaded Lopesoft file menu tool and add new entry (see the screenshot). It works without any problem and PSPad starts with new.txt file

Main context menu of WHAT?
- of file type xyz?
- of folders?
- of Desktop and empty space of WindowsExplorer?

 

To add a new entry to the context menu of empty space, follow this steps.

That will open PSPad with a new, not yet created,
text file at the place of launching the context menu.

Add this to the registry below of "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell"

Add a new key: NewTextFileHere
Add as (Default) of NewTextFileHere key: New PSPad Text file here

Add a new key below of NewTextFileHere: command
Add as (Default) of command key: D:\rive\path\to\PSPad\PSPad.exe "%V\New Text file.txt"

 
This string can be adjusted as you want, to fulfill your needs:
NewTextFileHere
New PSPad Text file here
D:\rive\path\to\
New Text file.txt

 
If you have no admin rights, do this below of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\
instead of
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\

 
 
- - -
 
The above again as registry file:

NewTextFileHere.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\NewTextFileHere]
@="New PSPad Text file here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\NewTextFileHere\command]
@="D:\\rive\\path\\to\\PSPad\\PSPad.exe \"%V\\New Text file.txt\""
