Context menu is a very useful tool to make your working quite easy. You have many choices for working on a file or folder. Here you have another option, which lets you change the name of open with command on the context menu that appears, if a file is right-clicked in the explorer or desktop. It also evades the common programs list available as sub menu to the open with command and simply calls the dialog box to choose the program. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the subkeys \shell\openas\ is not present, create it as explained below. Now, change the string value of default to customized string of your choice like open now under openas key. Then, create another sub key under openas with the name command and change its string value default to the data rundll32.exe shell32.dll,openas_rundll %1. However, if you want to revert to the original context menu condition, delete the subkey shell. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
