Repository files navigation

This will install up to 3 menus to your context(right click) menu and Windows Terminal.
Items include regedit, open cmd here(normal and admin) show/hide known file types, show/hide hidden files/folders, open bash here, open powershell here(normal and admin), settings, environmental variables, and power options.

Newest version may only work fully on windows 10 with the newest "features" update, as I update it with any changes needed after each one. Should work with Windows 11

Here is an older version that will work on windows 8/8.1 and should work on 7: Tools_menu_8&8.1_final.zip
Here is the final Pre-terminal version, based on this commit tools menu final.zip

In an admin CMD or Powershell enter one of these commands(use the one for the distro you want) and reboot.
wsl --install -d Ubuntu

  • v1.7 - Cleaned up the admin cmd command to shut kip up.

  • v1.6 - Forgot to change the bash reg files.

  • v1.5 - Removed the need for powershell to open admin CMD. May cause issues if you have anything using the key in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\runas" it will replace it with admin CMD. There's nothing on my pc that uses it as it is an alternate location than the standard "runas" key so it should be fine.

  • v1.3 - Removed gap in middle of settings menu.

  • v1.2 - Added settings menu.

  • v1.1 - Fixed admin cmd not working for some people.

  • v0.9 - Removed the need to open cmd first to open bash. take note that you must enable the linux subsystem for this to work.

  • v0.8 - Added open bash here. take note that you must enable the linux subsystem for this to work.

  • v0.7 - Fixed broken "Admin Cmd Here" for windows 10(thanks microsoft -_-), and added "powershell here" for opening powershell in the current directory.

  • v0.6 - Fixed missing power menu icons again.

  • v0.5 - Fixed an issue in the hidden files vbs(thanks LEDelete for pointing it out), fixed missing icon folder copy command in install script (thanks trm96 for pointing that out) should fix icons not showing up.
