msinfo menu entry

Hi again everybody - I wonder if anyone here can help me out a little - i have created a registry key so that i can launch MSinfo32 from the context menu instead of having to type it into the run box, the registry export of the key is below - my problem is this - i can get it to run fine from the drive context menu - but i would like to place it in the "my computer" context menu, does anyone know which key to modify to do this?

//reg key:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Sysinfo]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Sysinfo\Command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft shared\\MSInfo\\msinfo32.exe"

//End reg key:

i also tried %systemroot%\msinfo32.exe so that it could be used on any system no matter what partition the OS was on - but that didn't work - any ideas here ?

thanks in advance

 

So what you are saying is that you want to be able to choose "Run MSInfo" when your right click on "My Computer", correct?

Try this: ActiveWindows

Close Hauled

 

indeed that is what I would like to do - this page is really good - but it doesn't appear to help you put the menu item in the root directory =/ - thanks tho - useful information on registry here

 

Try this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\msinfo32]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\msinfo32\command]
@="\"msinfo32.exe\" %1"

What do you mean by "root directory"? Root directory of what?
