My computer context menu entires

I created some registry entries to place some context entires in the My computer context menu, the below works fine including the help file when opened via the selected apps. The Uninstall Tool entries works but when i attempt to launch the help file from the app it does not launch. It launches if i open uninstall tool directly from C:Windows but not from the context menu entire, anyone know why this is, thanks.

Autoruns works perfectly help file and all.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Autoruns][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Autoruns\command]@="autoruns.exe"

The same with Process explorer

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Process Explorer][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Process Explorer\command]@="procexp.exe"

This is the trouble one

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Uninstall Tool][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Uninstall Tool\command]@="uninstall.exe"

Regshot just refuses to launch.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regshot][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regshot\command]@="regshot.exe"

I'm not sure if this will work or not, however it's worth a try:

Input the actual file path, e.g.; if regshot.exe is in C:\WINDOWS input into the .reg file this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regshot][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regshot\command]@="%windir%\regshot.exe"

If that doesn't work perhaps this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regshot][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regshot\command]@="c:\windows\regshot.exe"

If it works, you should be able to move those files into a proper programs files location, and use the path %programfiles% so that the .exe can be found, or just leave them in C:\WINDOWS

Thanks once again Andavari, the code

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regshot][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regshot\command]@="c:\windows\regshot.exe"

works for Regshot but uninstall tool's help file still refuses to launch when uninstall tool is launched via the context menu entry.

uninstall tool's help file still refuses to launch when uninstall tool is launched via the context menu entry.

That one I don't know how to fix.
