I've actually used the sendto for many years, and it's handy but too broad.
I have a set of "send to > VS Build xx" shortcuts, but they appear on *every
*file type. That's why I liked the old registry trick where they were only
on the relevant .sln files.

I should mention that there are rare cases where you do want to sendto on
every file. I used regedit to add one under HCR\*\shell\HexEdit\command
@="\frhed.exe "%1". Free hex edit is a great little program and I'm
often sending arbitrary files to it for a look.

Hi Greg,

Not quite the same, but could you use the “Send To” functionality?
Just place a link/batch file/etc in the appropriate users Send To folder 
(C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo)

Cheers
David

Hi Greg,

Below is a register file that adds context menu items when you right click on a 
.dll file which allows me to run an “Elevate.exe” on the dll.

This example will adds 3 options
Run as Administrator
Elevate Register
Elevate UnRegister

It may help you adding a context menu item on a .sln with a bit of modification.

I am running windows 10 and it works on my machine.

Subject: Context menus for .sln file

Folks, back on Windows 7 I made some registry tweaks to add some really handy 
extra "Open with" shell context menus for the .sln extension. My Blog 
Post<https://gfkeogh.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/solution-open-with-batch-build.html>
 on doing this is still online.

On Windows 10 the registry changes have no effect. I spent a few hours 
searching and experimenting today to get it working, but no luck. Has anyone 
fiddled in this area? Maybe there are other ways of getting a "right click to 
build" facility. I really miss the convenience of those commands on the .sln 
file, and on other extensions as well.

+1 for Directory Opus. I used it back in the Amiga days and was so happy to 
find it exists now in the PC world.
I don't think supporting Australian software companies goes against anything on 
this list. Sharing great tools is what it's all about.
It's amazing and complements the built in Windows file explorer just fine. I 
like both but don't like missing out on the built in stuff. DIrOpus does a nice 
job.

Cheers,
Stephen

That's an impression utility, and it looks like it implements custom
context menus, but it's far to heavy-handed for my modest needs. I was
hoping to just tweak a few registry entries to get what I needed.

I forgot to mention that while search all 4.48 billion web pages this
