Contextmenu in AppV-Packages?

Question

Sign in to vote

Hello together,

I just created an AppV-Package for Notepad++ 5.7.
Notepad++ usually has in the contextmenu the field "Edit with Notepad++". The generated AppV-Package doesn't have this.
I also read in this forum, that AppV doesn't record things like this.

My question is now, can I manually add contextmenu-fields to my applications?
Info: For the customization of applications we use AppSense in our infrastructure.

Thank you in forward.

Hello,

See the official statement here;

Sure, you can hack around the OS all you want. Seems like a larger effort todo that than just to distribute it normally.

The right registry keys are recorded, but now that they are virtualised, they can't been seen by Windows Explorer and therefore aren't displayed.
