Spider Man 3

2012-05-10T03:39:00.005-07:00

Spider-Man 3 is an action game loosely based on the Spider-Man 3 film and released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Wii, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Advance. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions were developed by Treyarch, the PC version by Beenox while the other versions were developed by Vicarious Visions. It was released May 4, 2007. It was the last game officially released for the Game Boy Advance in Europe.

The game retains many of the gameplay elements from the previous game. Among the holdovers from the previous game is the freely explorable Manhattan map, which is larger in area than the one in Spider-Man 2.

There have been various changes to the movement and combat system, including the usage of motion sensitive controls on the Wii version. The Nintendo DS version's combat system is entirely operated using the DS's touch screen - the d-pad is only used for moving Spider-Man. Players are also now able to interact at certain points during some cutscenes. Another prominent feature is the ability to play as the black-suited Spider-Man from the film, which allows access to new attacks and special "Rage" moves.

Levels 1, 2 and 3 begin with Spider-Man chasing the New Goblin around the city. The New Goblin throws bombs at Spider-Man and he has to shoot them with webs to make the bombs blow up. The glider can blow up if Spider-Man shoots webbing at it. Spidey wakes up with a black suit and fights the Sandman and his thugs. Spidey has to retrieve all the diamonds that Sandman stole and save people who are getting their backpacks stole. (Levels 4-9). In Levels 10-12 Eddie Brock becomes Venom and teams up with the Sandman. They find a construction site and fight Spider-Man there. They kidnap Mary Jane and Spidey has to save her.

Intel’s latest Itanium Processor Quad-Core 9300 Series (Tukwila) gets official

Intel finally launched its 64-bit quad-core processor Itanium 9300 Series code-named Tukwila. With Tukwila Intel not only offers performance double of its predecessor (Dual-Core Itanium 9100 series), but also up to 800% more system interconnect bandwidth and claims up to 500 % increase in memory bandwidth, and up to 700 % more main memory capacity when using 16 GB DDR3 RAM. It has five models and the price ranges from $946 to $ 3,838.
SAN FRANCISCO – Intel Corporation today introduced the Itanium® processor 9300 series, previously codenamed “Tukwila,” which delivers more than double the performance of its predecessor, boosts scalability and adds reliability features to the Itanium platform that is already running mission-critical applications for 80 percent of the Global 100 corporations.
With the Gartner Group predicting a 650 percent growth in IT data over the next 5 years, businesses need increasingly powerful and scalable enterprise servers. The two-billion transistor Itanium processor 9300 series meets this need head on with twice as many cores as its predecessor (four versus two), eight threads per processor (through enhanced Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology), more cache, up to 800 percent the interconnect bandwidth, up to 500 percent the memory bandwidth, and up to 700 percent the memory capacity using-industry standard DDR3 components.
Critical corporate workloads also demand high-availability features across all platform components. The Itanium processor 9300 series adds to the architecture’s world-class resiliency with new reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features that extend across the processor, its Intel® QuickPath Interconnect technology, and the memory subsystem.
The processor’s advanced machine-check architecture coordinates error handling across the hardware, firmware and operating system, and improves system availability by enabling recovery from otherwise fatal errors.
The Itanium 9300 processor employs the second generation of Intel® Virtualization Technology to improve performance and robustness. Its Intel® 7500 chipset can directly assign I/O devices to virtual machines, further boosting efficiency.
Built for the future of mission-critical computing
“Intel is committed to delivering a new era of mission-critical computing, and we are delighted 80 percent of Global 100 companies have chosen Itanium®-based servers for their most demanding workloads,” said Kirk Skaugen, vice president Intel Architecture Group and general manager Data Center Group. “Intel is continuing to drive the economics of Moore’s Law into mission-critical computing with today’s Itanium 9300 processor announcement, more than doubling performance for our customers once again.”
“Customers need a flexible technology infrastructure that can efficiently and quickly meet changing mission-critical demands,” said Martin Fink, senior vice president and general manager, Business Critical Systems, HP. “Intel’s Itanium processor 9300 series, combined with HP Integrity servers, helps customers achieve new levels of scalability and resiliency with advanced virtualization capabilities to meet those needs.”
CNAF, the French Family Allowance Service with 30 million beneficiaries, has chosen to adopt Bull’s latest NovaScale GCOS Itanium-based servers. Gérard Russeil, CNAF chief information officer, said, “The Bull Itanium-based systems have consistently provided the reliability and availability that our mission-critical workload demands. Our testing shows that the Itanium 9300 processor’s additional throughput and performance will enable us to consolidate multiple data centers into one.”
Mission-critical computing for the next decade
OEM systems based on the Intel Itanium processor 9300 series will be binary-compatible with existing software and can provide major performance improvements without the need for additional software optimization.
“Poulson,” codename for the next Itanium processor, will add an advanced multi-core architecture, instruction-level and hyper-threading enhancements, new reliability features and more.
Future Intel Itanium processors in development today are being designed for socket and binary compatibility with Intel Itanium 9300 processor-based systems and software. They are designed to scale in performance and capacity through component upgrades, without software recompilation, so customers can continue to expand and adapt their mission-critical computing systems.
Common platform ingredients with Intel Xeon® processors spur innovation, add value
The Itanium® 9300 processor series and the future Intel® Xeon® processor, codenamed “Nehalem EX,” share several platform ingredients, including the Intel® QuickPath Interconnect, the Intel Scalable Memory Interconnect, the Intel® 7500 Scalable Memory Buffer (to take advantage of industry standard DDR3 memory), and I/O hub (Intel® 7500 chipset). The common elements foster shared innovation, design synergy, and manufacturing efficiency across Intel® Xeon® and Itanium processor families, and flexibility for customers.
Intelligent Energy Efficiency
An enhanced form of Demand-Based Switching (DBS) lowers power consumption when utilization is low. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology automatically senses and adapts to provide the right performance boost when needed, and to conserve power when it is not. The Intel Itanium processor 9300 series ranges in price from $946 to $3,838 in quantities of 1,000. OEM systems are expected to ship within 90 days.

2012-02-22T03:16:00.000-08:00

A lot of free gprs tricks have been share by me before of different telecom service providers like Airtel, Reliance, Tata Docomo, etc. However, i never really thought about sharing such a similar free gprs trick/hack for the latest enterant Aircel. The prime reason for that was, the cost of its Internet services on mobile. Aircel provides cheap pocket internet services and therefore there seemed to be no reason to share a hack to access free gprs on Aircel mobile phone’s. But, i was recently approched by a lot of readers with request to share a free gprs trick for Aircel mobile as well.

[Image Credit]
In this post, as a response to the requests, i am sharing a trick to access FREE GPRS on your Aircel mobile just by changing the below mentioned settings in your mobile phone. And before you make the below mentioned changes, please be aware of the fact that this is more of a trick than a hack and there are no gurantees that this will work for every one. So, be vary of the fact that it might cost you as well instead of being totally free (No, i am not scaring you). Change the Proxy, Port and APN settings in your existing Aircel internet settings and key in the following.

Proxy : 172.17.83.69
Port : 8080
APN : aircelmms

I hope you will be able to make full use of this trick and access Internet on your Aircel mobile for FREE!

How To Revert To The Old Version Of Tweetdeck If You Don’t Like The New Version

2012-02-21T22:49:00.000-08:00

The quest for dominance and control over all apps using the Twitter API (which begs the question, why release an API?) has continued apace of late with the purchase of Tweetdeck finally resulting in a new version of the popular desktop app. Like other Twitter apps, Tweetdeck saves the user from having to deal with the clunky user interface of the browser-based service.
Capable of supporting multiple accounts, Tweetdeck was arguably the best Twitter app for Windows, but the new version has failed to live up to the legacy, largely due to problems signing in. As a result there are many users looking for alternatives – but fortunately it doesn’t take much effort to revert to the “classic” Tweetdeck and carry on using the software as before.

What Are The Differences?

Released in January 2012, the new version of TweetDeck features a re-designed user interface, a new blue logo and has discarded the use of the Adobe AIR cross-platform runtime environment. The result of this is a new application that can be quickly downloaded and installed for Windows and Mac OS X, as well as a version that can be installed as an app for the Chrome browser.
While there are many similarities in the way the two versions are used, there is however a small issue; many users have discovered that they cannot sign into the new Tweetdeck (although new users of the app – available here – should have no problems setting up an account and signing in).

As Tweetdeck traditionally offered the ability to create an account which would then store Twitter logins – saving the user the chore of having to add their Twitter account to the software each time it is installed – issues signing in are obviously of some importance. Fortunately, old versions of the software are still available on the web, but due to the use of Adobe AIR these can prove tricky to install if you don’t follow the correct steps.

Removing Tweetdeck

A few people have tried reverting to the old Tweetdeck, but this brings with it some problems, mainly due to the way in which it is installed. Adobe AIR is a cross-platform environment for running software, which means that the software installed with it doesn’t require access to the Windows registry.
One result of this is that reinstalling an old app might fail. In order to avoid this, you will to need carry out the following steps:

Remove the new Tweetdeck via Programs in Windows (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a program)
Reinstall Adobe Air (you can download this here)
Install the old version of Tweetdeck (see below)

If you use a separate partition for installing applications in Windows (that is, Windows on one partition, Program Files on another), while you might expect an environment like Adobe AIR to allow you to run software installed during a previous Windows installation, this isn’t possible. Indeed, Tweetdeck will not install in this scenario without first deleting the Tweetdeck installation folder.

Tracking Down An Old Version

As we’ve seen, Twitter has been quite aggressive in its attempts to remove the “classic” version of Tweetdeck. One result of this is that the older versions – such as 0.38.2 – aren’t listed in some of the usual locations where you might find software from days gone by.

Fortunately there are a couple of places where you can find the last old-style release, 0.38.2, such as this link. After you have downloaded and installed the software, remember that it won’t work unless you have removed the previous versions, as described above.
What you should find, however, is that this version of the software will accept your login first time and restore your saved columns. It shouldn’t be long before you’re able to apply filters and manage multiple accounts with considerable ease.

Conclusion

Obviously performing this task is something that is down to personal preference. The two versions are both easy to use and functional and if you’re happy with the new Tweetdeck then you should carry on with it. Similarly if you’re not a fan of Adobe AIR then the new version of Tweetdeck is going to appeal.
Meanwhile, the new version offers new features such as the ability to schedule tweets. As such if this is something that appeals then you might like to give the standalone, Adobe AIR-free Tweetdeck a chance before reverting.

Use Your Smartphone As a YouTube Remote Control With Any Computer [Android 2.0+]

2012-02-10T00:48:00.000-08:00

YouTube Remote is a fantastic and free Android application by Google that lets you control YouTube on any PC using your smartphone. I found out about it thanks to commenter TKCOLE, who recommended it in the comment section of our Best Of Android page.
We mentioned YouTube Remote briefly in MakeUseOf Directory, but after TKCOLE’s recommendation I just had to try it out. I was so impressed with it, I decided to write up a tutorial showing exactly how to set it up and what it does. So, TKCOLE, if you’re reading this, thank you for the recommendation!

Setting It Up On The Phone

When you first start the app, it will pop up a short explanation ask you to agree to the Terms of Use. Next, it would ask to associate with a Google account:

(I blurred my account on the screenshot, but you get the point.) Once you grant it permission, it connects to that account and then shows this interesting “pairing code” screen:

Now, this is where YouTube comes into the picture. The application makes use of YouTube’s Leanback interface, so let’s go check that out.

Setting It Up On YouTube

This is YouTube Leanback, a version of YouTube aimed for use with televisions and other large monitors. It is very visual, and looks a bit like a cable guide or a channel selection interface in a TV. Next, within My YouTube, scroll all the way to the right until you see the Pair button (it’s at the very end, after the Sign Out button).

Click the huge Pair button or tap Enter, and the pairing interface will appear:

You can either type the nine-digit pairing code into your phone, or use the phone to scan the QR barcode. Let’s switch back to the phone and scan the QR code:

I also picked a name for the screen (imaginative, I know). Once that’s done, tap Add Screen. That’s it!

Now you get an interface full of videos, a search bar, subscriptions, and more. Let’s tap a Julia Nunes video:

It’s magic! I tapped the video on my phone, and it just started playing in the browser on my desktop. How awesome is that? Also, note the different control interface used by Leanback. Those buttons disappear after a moment. Back on the phone, you see this:

You can seek the video, pause it, share it, and more. And what’s even cooler is that you can use your phone’s hardware volume buttons to control the volume of the video.
Since YouTube is generally made up of short videos, the app also lets you queue them up very easily by tapping the Plus button next to each video. You can then set up an entire evening’s watching on the app, hit Play and not have to think about it again.

Final Thoughts

One of the coolest aspects of using YouTube Remote is that you don’t actually have to be signed in on the computer side. This means you can use the app to control YouTube on any random computer that comes across your way without having to type your Google Account password and possibly allowing other people to access your Gmail or other personal information.
It’s a very simple app to use, but I love it because it it’s one of those rare apps that make technology feel a little bit like magic. Absolutely awesome, and definitely worthy of inclusion in our Best Of Android list.

How to Add a Command Window to the Right-Click Menu

2012-02-08T03:55:00.003-08:00

As I delve further and further into how the PC works and I start to get involved in more technical projects, I am finding myself increasingly using the command prompt window. These days, the command prompt window is kind of made redundant by the fact that everything can be done by clicking on a link or icon. Let’s face it, why type in C:\Program Files\Skype\Skype.exe in the command box when you can just go to the start menu and click on the link?

Saying that, there are a lot of people out there that use the command prompt box to run their own scripts and you also need the command prompt window to get into the Windows Registry. But once you start using the command prompt window more than a few times, it gets tiring going to the start menu, choosing “run” and then typing “cmd”. Wouldn’t it be better and faster to right-click on a hard-drive folder (or your desktop trash bin) and open a command prompt window from your right-click menu? I sure prefer it.

Before we go any further, I want to stress that the following process involves making some changes to your Windows registry. If you are unsure what you are doing, make a backup of your registry in case things go wrong!

1. Go to your start menu, choose “run” and then type in “regedit” and then press enter. Your Windows registry box will now come up on the screen.

2. In the left pane window, navigate toHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Classes/Folder/shell.

3. Make sure the shell folder is chosen, then in the right pane, right-click, choose new thenkey. Name it command prompt.

4. Select the new key in the left pane and in the right pane, click on the icon. This will open up a box where you type in open command prompt in the “value data” field. Press enter to save it.

5. In that same right-pane window, right-click, choose new then key. Type command in the box. Press enter.

6. Choose this key in the left pane and in the right pane window, click on the icon. In the value data field, type cmd.exe /k pushd %L. Press enter to save it.

7. Close Windows registry and refresh your Windows Explorer.

8. If you now right-click on a folder or on your desktop trash bin, you’ll now see an option which says Open Command Prompt. Choosing that will open a command prompt window.

3 More Tools to Customize the Right Click Menu (Windows)

2012-02-08T03:54:00.000-08:00

Who doesn’t love a shortcut? Thanks to the guy who programmed in the right click menu, we get to take some of them while working or browsing on the computer. Here at MakeUseOf we have looked at some of the ways to add more power to the right click menu.

Earlier we have looked at ways to customize the right click menu on your own or use the free‘Mmm’ to do it for you. We have also looked at ways to add & remove entries from right click context menu. But here I am back again looking at three more ways to customize my right click menu give it a booster shot.

Folder Guide

As the name says, navigating through the folders and directories of your hard-drive with the right click becomes easier with this freeware. Use Folder Guide to tweak your right click menu and set up your frequently used folders and access them. Also, you can set up some separators to categorize the Folder Guide entries.

Of course, you can set it up through manual additions in the send to folder too but ‘Folder Guide’ just does it a bit more neatly saving you some clicks.

Access the ‘Folder Guide’ menu by right clicking on file, folder background, Windows Explorer, Open/Save dialog boxes, Desktop, or Start Button. Add your favorite folders, sort them in your own order, arrange them with separators and you’ll have quick access at the click of a right button. With a small imprint of just 1.6 MB, Folder Guide is worth a try.

Moo0 RightClicker

Nope, cows don’t take shortcuts. Moo0 RightClicker is just a handy set of improvements for our right click menus. The 4.2 MB free right click menu editor has a free version and a more feature laden paid counterpart. The free version is a good help as it gives the right click menu some useful add-ons and also allows the user to manage the ones already there.

The program opens with a notice mentioning a bug in Win XP which causes CPU utilization to spike to 100% temporarily (though, I did not catch any…) under certain usage conditions. It gives the option to turn off some ‘Effects’ in Display Properties. The functions are simple to understand. The free version gives two interface options – Simple and Basic.

Here’s a feature list -

Copy and move files and folders to bookmarked or standard system folders. Bookmarking often used folders is a nice touch.
Intelligent copying – using the name, path, or contents of an actual file.
Sort folder contents by numerous attributes.
Create a duplicate window. (Access it from the File menu of a folder)
Preview images.
Arrange neatly with quick-collapsing menus.
Delete items permanently bypassing the recycle bin.

Moo0 doesn’t remove any of your earlier customizations but lets you add some more. So it integrates the earlier shell entries you might have made. Un-installation is also safe. The only thing I wish is that could have given me a bit more choice against its default lime green color.

FileMenu Tools

The powerhouse for the last mention. FileMenu Tools goes further than the previous two mentioned. It takes the context menu out of the box and literally makes it a file manager. It allows you to either clean up the clutter or throw in a few more options for handling files and folders. Over and above, add your own choice of programs, folders and paths. Also, add your own icons and names through the properties dialog.

Do more with features like -

Configure built in commands or add customized commands according to the file types you right click on.
Configure the ‘Send to Menu’ within the FileMenu program.
A very handy advanced renamer lets you batch rename all files in a folder.
Synchronize two folders from within Windows Explorer.
Split-join files and also compresses the parts.
Find or replace a text for all the files that a selected folder contains.
Delete only files of a specific type. For example, delete only the ‘.log’ files from the temporary folder.
Mark locked files (files which are being used by other programs) for deletion with the next system boot.
Securely shred your files and make them unrecoverable.
Get a view of folder size through a pie chart.
Send selected contents as email attachments.
Add separators and demarcate your right click shortcuts.

These are just some of the utilities packaged inside FileMenu Tools. The greatest advantage beyond the ease of configuration is that the software bundles a lot of disparate utilities in an accessible collection. At an installed size of 6.4 MB and a freeware it’s click worthy.

The choice of decking up your right click menu depends on the kind of power you want to give it. But it’s a certainty that you will be spoilt for choice with the free software available.

Customize Your ‘Send To’ Right-Click Windows Menu

2012-02-08T03:52:00.000-08:00

If you’re like me, you frequently to move the same types of files to the same places over and over again. While you could keep a shortcut pointing to that location on your Desktop, there’s an even easier (and more flexible) way to quickly move files to a favorite place. The secret lies in the “Send To” command found in your right-click contextual menu.

At this point you’re probably either thinking, “what command where?” or “that has a function?” Hopefully we’ll answer both of those in that order for you. First, right-click on any file or folder. Notice that the “contextual” menu, that is, the menu that drops down from your cursor, has several options on it. The one we’re interested in is “Send To.” Once you run your mouse over the ‘Send To’ command, it drops down with a list of locations.

Now when you first saw this tool, if you even noticed it at all, you probably thought it was pretty terrible. Most of the locations on the list, by default, are fairly useless. The only way I ever used ‘Send To’ in the past was to create shortcuts and put them on the Desktop. What you see above is my newly cleaned-up and customized ‘Send To’ menu.

One of the unadvertised features of ‘Send To’ is that you can directly change the items that show up in the list. This is done by going to a specific folder and changing its contents. That folder is found in “Documents and Settings/yourusername.” Note: replace “yourusername” with whatever your user account name is on your computer. Here’s what mine looks like.

Notice that the Send To folder is somewhat transparent, indicating it is a hidden folder. If your hidden folders are not visible, go into “Tools->Folder Options->View (Tab)->Show Hidden Folders.” Once you have done this you are ready to go into your Send To folder.

In the folder, you will see all of the items that show up in the drop down. Most of these are actually shortcuts to those places, though a few are drives, commands to zip, or special system shortcuts to places like the Desktop or ‘My Documents’. Because they’re shortcuts, any other shortcuts you place in this folder will also show up in your Send To drop down.

As you can see above, I cleaned out my folder so it only has a few items in it. Now I have the ability to create shortcuts to the Desktop, zip files, and send files to My Documents, My Pictures, and Screenshots. This last folder, ‘Screenshots’, I added by holding the Alt key while dragging Screenshots into the ‘Send To’ folder. This created a shortcut of the selected folder instead of moving it. If you don’t feel comfortable with that hotkey, simply right click the desired item, click “New->Shortcut” and drag your new shortcut into the ‘Send To’ folder.

After tinkering with my ‘Send To’ list, it’s much more useful. Let’s send some pictures that I used for this article into the Screenshots folder:

Voila! This is a really useful little tool for me because I often need to play with several different types of files and find the best place to do that is on the Desktop. When I’m done using those files I either delete them or toss them into their relevant folders for safe keeping. ‘Send To’ now allows me to send all my screenshots in a batch into the Screenshots folder. This is also handy if you have any folders that take specific actions when items are added to them.

I’m sure there are a number of neat uses for this tip, so please tell us what you come up with in the comments!

How To Install The Recovery Console in Windows XP

2012-02-08T03:48:00.000-08:00

Windows XP is an odd beast. Some have no problems using it, while others report little else but problems. If you often find yourself in the latter category, you may at some point have the need to use Windows XP’s Recovery Console, especially if your PC will no longer boot.

The Recovery Console is a special command-line interface for Windows XP which allows an administrator to identify and locate drivers and files which are problematic, as well as troubleshoot system settings. It’s recommended by Microsoft only for advanced users (in other words, that nerdy kid down the block), and only when Safe Mode (pressing the F8 key at boot-up) is not working.

To install the Recovery Console, you will need your Windows XP CD. The version of Windows XP on the CD must match or surpass the version installed on your PC, thus a Service Pack 3 disk is recommended. If you don’t have one, try to borrow one from a friend or co-worker. If you can’t find one, you can download setup disks or disk images from Microsoft.

For demonstrative purposes, we’ll assume that you have a Windows SP3 CD loaded into your CD drive at drive-letter D:

To install the Recovery Console, follow these steps (lifted from this Knowledge Base article):

Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons where d is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive.
A Windows Setup Dialog Box appears. The Windows Setup Dialog Box describes the Recovery Console option. To confirm the installation, click Yes.
Restart the computer. The next time that you start your computer, “Microsoft Windows Recovery Console” appears on the startup menu.

The black screen with white text can be intimidating, but if you’ve ever played with the command line, you should feel right at home here. If you need help, just type “help”, and optionally, the name of the command you’re curious about, like “help fixmbr”.

I’ll run down the highlights of what commands you’ll most likely use:

“Bootcfg“ recovers the Boot.ini file.

“Chkdsk /r“ looks for bad disk sectors and attempts to recover any information which can be read from them.

“Copy“ copies a file to a target location.

“Delete“ deletes one file.

“Disable“ disables a Windows system service or driver.

“Enable“ restarts a disabled service or driver.

“Diskpart“ manages hard disk partitions. Be very careful using this!

“Expand“ decompresses a compressed file. This is good for getting files off the installation CD if needed.

“Fixmbr“ repairs the boot code on a hard-disk. If your operating system “cannot be found” you’ll likely use this command, along with little brother “Fixboot”.

The Recovery Console is scary but helpful, and you’ll be glad that you’ve installed it on your hard disk before Windows gives you any trouble. If you have any system recovery tips, please leave comments below.

How To Add & Remove Entries from The Windows Right-Click Menu

2012-02-08T03:47:00.000-08:00

The Right-Click menu is one of the most messed with pieces of Windows. If you have installed a large amount of applications, your right-click menu can become quite large and eventually just take way too long to load.

Of course, it is possible to remove and add options to the right-click menu. Both of which can be quite productive and fun. (There was a previous article Customize Your “˜Send To’ Right-Click Windows Menu written by Jimmy on how to add more options to the “Send To” field. Some other article related to Windows right lick menu can be found here.)

Ready? Let’s do it!

Adding Entries for Certain File Types in Right-Click Menu

Sometimes you may have a certain file type, e.g. .doc (Word document) that you would like to do something special with, e.g. open .doc as an email attachment. Today we will be looking at how to do just that. In other words, show you how to add additional options to right click menu when used on certain files. So let’s get started!

Step 1: Go to “My Computer.” Click “Tools” and then click “Folder Options.”

Step 2: Click on the tab labeled “File Types.”

Step 3: Find a file type and select it. Then click “Advanced.”

Step 4: Click “New.” In the Action field type the name that you would like to appear.

Step 5: In the Application used to perform action textbox enter the path of the application you would like the file to load in (with quotes). E.g. “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe”.

Step 6: Click “OK” and you have your own customized right-click menu!

Removing Entries from Right-Click Menu

Sometimes, instead of adding entries, maybe your right-click menu has become too big. Eventually right-click menu’s (like mine) can take forever to load. If you would like to, you can definitely remove some of those useless options. Ready for a faster right-click menu? Let’s do it!

Step 1: Go to “Start,” “Run,” and type regedit.

Step 2: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellexe\ContextMenuHandlers

Step 3: Find the folder that indicates the entry in the start menu and right-click. Select “Remove.”

Remove Entries for Certain File Types

Maybe your right-click menu has become way too long, and takes forever to load (like mine). If you would like to only remove entries for certain file types, simply go to the Folder Options menu like we did before and you may do the following:

Step 1: Go to “My Computer.” Click “Tools” and then click “Folder Options.”

Step 2: Click on the tab labeled “File Types.”

Step 3: Find a file type and select it.

Step 4: Find one of the entries and select “Remove.”

Now go out there and tweak!
