The regedit file below can be used to add additional right click COM registration options to dll, ocx and exe file from within Windows Explorer. The right clicks menus that will be added are "Register", "Silent Register" and "UnRegister". To add the above menu items, simply save the text below into a file called "C:\RegisterCOM.reg" and run the file (ie double click on the file in Windows Explorer): REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe] @="exefile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dll] @="dllfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ocx] @="ocxfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.olb] @="olbfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\Register\command] @="%1 /register" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register\command] @="regsvr32.exe %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell\Register\command] @="regsvr32.exe %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\olbfile\shell\Register\command] @="regsvr32.exe %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Silent Register\command] @="regsvr32.exe /s %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell\Silent Register\command] @="regsvr32.exe /s %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\olbfile\shell\Silent Register\command] @="regsvr32.exe /s %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\UnRegister\command] @="%1 /unregister" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\UnRegister\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell\UnRegister\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\olbfile\shell\UnRegister\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Silent UnRegister\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u /s %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell\Silent UnRegister\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u /s %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\olbfile\shell\Silent UnRegister\command] @="regsvr32.exe /u /s %1"
