How to integrate custom context menu shortcuts on Windows 11

Context menu custom shortcuts.

On Windows 11, you can customize the context menu to add custom shortcuts, and I will show you how in this guide. Although you can make an easy trip to the Start menu to launch an application, search the web, and open a specific feature or setting, as our sister site Tom's Hardware pointed out, it's also possible to modify the right-click context menu through the Registry to access some resources even faster since this specific menu is always one right-click away.

In the past, I have created different guides to add specific entries (such as to access Windows Update, Command Prompt, and others) to the right-click context menu. However, in these instructions, I outline the process of creating shortcuts for virtually anything.
