How do I add the program into context menu to receive the folder as argument while making the new item available when clicking on the folder background?
As of now I am trying to add the program to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\directory\Background\shell\MyProgram\command
and I do see the new menu item, however, if I try to add %1
to receive the argument it is not working - I get an error.
As example:
F:\Programs\program.exe
- Program starting correctly without receiving any arguments.
"F:\Programs\program.exe"
"%1"
- Error
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
"F:\Programs\program.exe %1"
- Error
Application not found.
From what I have read the second option should be correct, but it is not working, why?
The parameter should be %V
, not %1
, as it seems %V
returns a directory it was called from, while %1
returns a file it was called from.
