Order in the context menu of Windows Explorer

Question

How to change the order of entries in the context menu? (e.g. for directories) I need to know how Windows determines the order in which it is displayed so that I can control it. For example, I want to place my custom action at the end of the context menu list

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

My google-fu led me to this :

Thus, sorting is based on the following elements in the order of decision-making:

• Primary priority (e.g. txtfile, *, AFSO)
• Enumeration order of the shellex \ contextmenuhandlers registry with a special case for static verbs that are always the first
• IContextMenu

This Q&A shows an easy way to CREATE (not move) an item in the context menu. I managed to duplicate an existing item. Then I moved my item to a higher and more accessible position in the context menu, renaming the key to start with something like “aMyItem” or “0MyItem”.
