Can anyone tell me (Or reccommend an online document on) how to edit my registry in order to add items to the drop down menu resulting from right-clicking on files/folders? Specifically, I want to add an "Open target location" option to my shorcuts, and an "open with" to all files (This option seems to have disappeared for some reason). I also want to be able to specify what appears in that "open with" menu (Notepad, specifically). If you know of any registry edits that I can download that specifically do these things, that would be good, too. Thanks!

i think tweakui from powertoys has a section that allows you to add a certain number of items to the right-click menu...either that, or it's freshUI
