Change the option of folder icon available in the right-click context menu in Windows 7 Explorer

Hello:

I want to be able to change the icon of a folder in the "context of the folder right-click menu' (as other choice such as: copy, paste, rename, etc.) instead of having to navigate to-> propierties of the folder-> customize-> change icon.

Is it possible to add this option via regedit?

Thank you!

Hi Soul-Hunter,

You will not be able to add the ability to change the icon of the folder by right click of the mouse and you can add that to the right click menu, this is normal.

However, if you want to make a right click on the folder and change the folder icon, follow the steps:

1. right click on the folder that you want to change the icon.

2. click on properties.

3. click on the Customize tab and click on Edit button icon under the folder icon option.

If you want to make a suggestion or give your feedback on the product, you can access the link below and post it.

  • Changing colors on right click context menu

    original title: change highlight

    When I right click on the desktop in a drop-down list appears. Is there a way to change the highlighting when I move my mouse over there? Also the top of the window where it has File, Edit, etc when I move the mouse it it goes black. Can I change this too? On windows 98, you can change it.

    OK it seems that my problem is not yet solved. My problem is when I had windows 98 I could change appearances on 98, but windows 7 does not work correctly. When I get an empty spot on the Monte of his gray box office and the highest point is the light. In windows 98, it can be changed on the appearance settings. On windows 7 I have change the color for this settings and is always gray. Also, when hover the words File, Edit, etc., it becomes black. I had no problem with the 98. How can I make it look like windows 98?

    Hi Rose

    Optional color settings have not much effect in Windows 7 because the display is based on the selected theme. If you use an Aero theme, then these settings will have almost no efffect.

    Here's what you can do.

    Right-click on an empty space on the desktop and select Personalize.

    In the upper part of the window, scroll down and select the Windows Classic theme. This will give you the view that is closer to what looked like Windows 98.

    You can then enter in the color of the window / advanced appearance settings and try different options until you get what you are looking for.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • "new simple volume" is not in disk management right click context menu, cannot go beyond initialzing the disc/disc

    I bought a hard drive 'as new' off Amazon, a player Samsung HD204UI ATA (2 TB), it is said in the devce properties. I could not initialize the disk when I had plugged the startech USB adapter 3.0, so I connected directly to the motherboard. I started using a hard I havn't drive used in some time because he was temporarily not working not because without warning a fool electrician of neveda electricity company shut off the power without warning! But in any case, for some reason, it started working again, but stopped to use it anyway, but here I use back there. I noticed that the volume button will not appear if it is an indication of something, and it is grey also in the corner icons or turn off. A guy here with confirmation by another user claimedf if I connect powered off then back in it works but again either. I am therefore able to initialize this drive on this Windows 7 x 64 a (the same I said I have not used for months). But then I discovered for use I have to select new simple volume (and yet it is in basic mode). However, the order is not yet in the list, and the others are grey except for the properties and some other weird thing that allows the switch-u between dynamics and basic, etc.

    So what now? I should try logging on or off, and perhaps that will appear, or possible I screwed up this seller Amazon Reader? Why can not format just the thing as I can a flash drive?

    :*(

    Hello

    I suggest you to contact Samsung support for assistance.

  • HP dm4-1160us - cannot get the right click of the mouse using my touchpad

    Hi all

    I bought my HP dm4-1160us model yesterday of staples. When I use it for the first time, I found a strange problem with the touch pad. When I click right click button on the touchpad, I couldn't see the right display context menu, also same problem with both left click button. I couldn't choose any text while pressing the left button or...

    Anyone, please help me if you know the solution for this. I'm sure it's a configuration problem, but your ideas are very important to me...!

    see you soon

    KIRU

    Hello

    It's all DONE... I found the solution.

    The problem was due to the physical development of the touch pad. New song itself came with this incoherent design. When the side of the left and right buttons on the touchpad was not seated properly, instead he pulled little as in an oblique position. Don't know why, just made a hard push down on the side buttons of the touchpad today... which is it... suddenly I heard a noise like fit inside in the correct position and now my touchpad is flat...! I tried the left button and right click on... WOW... worked.

    I have almost given up for the use of left & right click on my touchpad, instead I started to use my mouse...

    Thank you...

  • I was on facebook and remove an icon by using the right-click menu, but then all my photos and pictures of profile, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in the browser, so it's something I've done in Firefox. How can I unlock a site? "

    I was on facebook and remove an icon by using the right-click menu, but then all my photos and pictures of profile, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in the browser, so it's something I've done in Firefox. How can I unlock a site?

    If you select that right click menu context then you block all images from this area and not a specific image, so do not use that.

    • Check exceptions in tools > Options > content: Load Images > Exceptions (for example sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)

    You can use the following steps to check if the images are blocked:

    • Click on the "More information" button to open the "Page Info" with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
    • Go to the Media of the window tab "tools > Page Info.
    • Select the first link of the image and scroll down through the list with the arrow down.
    • If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.
  • How can I change the order of the elements in the "open with" context menu?

    I'm working on XP Prof SP3 and to change the order of the "open with" context menu.

    I like to make the most of my photos, I crop them optimal detail using a specific program for this. This program, I can access by right clicking on the photo icon by pressing H, to open the framework "open with" menu and then I have to scroll down to 6th place.

    You can imagine that if you do this for a series of hundreds of vacation pictures, you are quickly tired.

    Is there a way how I can change the sort order in the "open with" context menu, because the removal of everything seems not a too good idea.

    Is there anyone out there who can help me?  I thank in advance.

  • How to disable the right click menu of office options in windows 7 64 bit PC?

    On right-clicking on the icon/file on the desktop, we get several options such as open, open with, cut, copy, delete, rename, scan with etc.; There's also the uninstalled software options - such as video to convert. Scan with NPAV. I want to know how to remove these options because they are redundant. For example I have uninstalled the antivirus NPAV software and replaced by MS essentials but the right click shows the two options of scan with MS essentials and NPAV. In the same way convert video option does not work as I uninstalled the trial version of the software that was pre-existing when I got the PC.

    So, how to remove these redundant click on options on the right.

  • How can I set the option of working "press quality" to create a PDF file by using the right click?

    I need to process a large volume of PDF from Word files.

    Option of work required is high quality press.

    I tested the creation of PDFs in 2 ways:

    Open the file in Word and PDF/Print/File and select high quality default press + save as default printer

    Then I tested it by selecting several files to a directory and using the right click (convert to PDF)

    Results: PDF do not have the same properties and right click PDF files have a poorer quality unsuitable for printing paper.

    Do you know how to set the option of high quality for the click press right (Adobe does not use the same parameters depending on the operation)?

    Go to the preferences of Acrobat. Choose the convert to PDF pane and click Microsoft Office Word. Click on change settings and from there, you get a dialog box that allows you to set the Settings Adobe PDF for such operations in batches. Select the option of high quality print and then press OK twice and you should be good to go.

    When you create a demonstration of the software in Captivate, I would like to change the mouse click default Visual to the custom effect 'blue circle' for all clicks.  Is there a way to change the default or modify all mouse clicks with an entry?  It is possible to change the shape of all occurrences of the mouse pointer by right clicking a mouse, but it doesn't seem to be a similar option for the click of mouse vizualized.
