---

When you install a new program,sometimes it becomes tiresome to find its location,if you aren't able to place its icon on the desktop.

If you want really quick access to launch a frequently used application without putting extra icons on your desktop, you can add that application to the context menu for the desktop with a simple registry hack. Here’s how to do it.

For today,i'll show you how to add the popular Notepad++ editor option in your Right-click menu.Just follow the simple steps below

• Click the start button,type "Run".In the dialog box that opens up,Type regedit.Alternatively,you can also Press Windows-key+R on keyboard and then type regedit.
• Navigate to this key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell".by this I mean,first expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,then expand Directory,continuing in the similar manner upto shell.
  
• Next, you’ll want to create a new key underneath the shell key, the name of which is exactly what is going to show up on the desktop menu.For instance,if you want to add Notepad++,type Notepad++ here.Right-click on the “shell” key, and then choose New \ Key from the menu.
  
• Next you’ll need to create the command key that will actually hold the command used to launch the application. Right-click on the new Notepad++ key, and then choose New \ Key from the menu.Name this key as command.
  


• Now,select the command entry,double click the Default key,and enter the following details as shown in this pic
  


• Now,Right click on the desktop,you'll find a working entry of Notepad++ in it.
