Add any application to Right Context Menu

Friday
Some times I feel lazy to open file and then click on Open!so I taught it will be cool if I had that application in Right Context menu so I did.
Now I will tell How to do it!
We can do it by two methods

  • By Windows Registry Editor
  • By Windows Registry file

By Windows registry Editor:
1.Open Windows registry
by pressing Window key+R and type regeit and press Enter
