Many people would be happy to have some extra menu options available when they right-click My Computer.

Sometimes installing an application already takes care of this.
Programs like Paint Shop Pro have this and zippers like Winzip or WinRar are also well-known examples of this.

It is fairly easy to add your own favorite ones.

The trick is to add these additions to the Explorer ClassID:

The general approach to this would be:

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
2. Locate the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell subkey.
3. Right-click this subkey and select New Key and as a keyname type the name you to appear on the context menu, eg. TweakUI
4. Now right-click this new key and again select New Key and as a keyname type: command
5. On the right-hand side double-click the (Default) entry that has been created
6. In the Edit String dialog box field for Value data: enter the command needed to activate the desired program, eg. C:\Windows\System32\Tweakui.exe

Here are some .reg files you can use to add some of these menu options.

• System Configuration Utility (Msconfig)
• Registry Editor (Regedit)
• TweakUI (once installed!)
• Calculator
• Lock Workstation
• Suspend Workstation
• Shutdown UI
• ...

If after a while, for some reason, you should get tired of these additions you can easily delete them by going into the registry, locating the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell subkey, selecting the unwanted Keyname and simply deleting it.
