Creating a context menu item "Open with MyEditor" for all ..

Hi,

I was using a text editor which added an item to the top of the context
menu: "Open with Editor". This made it possible to open absolutely
every file on my computer with this program regardless of what the file
was associated with. I have now found an editor I like more, but this
one can not create such an universal "open with" item. Is there a way
to add it to the registry manually so I can open all files on my
computer with the new editor regardless of what kind of file it is?

In Regedit, open HKCR\*\shell and create a new key for your text editor. Set the name
on right side in (Default) value then create a new subkey in that key and name it
"command" and set the path of your text editor in Default value.


Good Luck, Ayush.
