"If you want it to be an article, you have to tell us because we can't read your mind - we can only go on the evidence before us, which said Programming Question" "which said Programming Question" That's your assumption. I never said this was a programming question. As far as I can tell this forum is for asking for Articles and Ideas that are not tied to any specific programming language, which is why I put my request here. By the way, from what I've seen on this site, on the internet - in general, or at any of Microsoft's sites, I don't think the context menus can be configured the way I want, i.e., to show a specific option for just one program when that program's icon is right clicked. So never mind on this. "More than enough forums to choose from" But not this one - seems to be your point initial point, and I think it still is. "Deja View" - Probably because the post was never atiquately answered.

How do you customize the windows context menu so that it shows specific options only only when opened for a specific application? -
How do you customize the windows context menu so that it shows specific options only only when opened for a specific application?You and Pete, appear to like to say "Wrong Topic" and then accuse me of missing some non-existent clue. Since you and Pete think my request for an article shouldn't be posted here, where on this site would you suggest?

How do you customize the windows context menu so that it shows specific options only only when opened for a specific application?The distinction between asking for an article on a topic I want to see and have a need for, and asking for help on the same topic isn't clear to me. Are you saying that people should only ask for articles that aren't related to problems. That doesn't make sense. I often buy magazines with articles and even whole books on topics related to programming problems I need information on. Unfortunately, I just haven't been able to find any that deal with my question. You seem to be moderating this forum, so I suggest that if this forum isn't open to all programming topics that you might want to give the forum a more descriptive title or a forum description telling us what topics may be posted in this forum, and the right way to request appropriate articles.

How do you customize the windows context menu so that it shows specific options only only when opened for a specific application?Let's try this again. Would someone write an article showing how to create a context menu item that on displays on a specific program's icon? There are plenty of articals showing how this can be done for a folder or a file with a specific type, but as far as I've seen doing searches on "context menu" there aren't any for what I'm looking for, which is somethink like you see when you put in a CD and click on its context menu, i.e, install menu.

How do you customize the windows context menu so that it shows specific options only only when opened for a specific application?Wrong Title. Hmmm, that's a bit like someone asking for where the bathroom is and you saying not here. However, I don't think a request for an article that shows how to set up context menu items that only show for a specific program when its icon is right clicked, is off topic to this Forum. But, if you would like offer the forum that you think this request should go under, I'd be interested. I've already searched for articals and program examples using "context menu" and none of the findings actually do what I'm looking for. They all seem to deal with adding a menu option to the context menu when a folder or file with a certain extention so that you can run your program on that folder or file when the menu item is clicked. What I'm looking for is different, i.e., only show the menu item when a specific program's icon is right clicked. Thank you
