With Windows 7 pushed out to the masses, it's only a matter of time before

the Web is flooded with all sorts of nifty tips and tricks as the

inquisitive and tech savvy have their way with Microsoft's latest operating

system. To get the ball rolling, we're going to show you how to access

Windows 7's extended context menu, as well as how to edit, add, and remove

items from it.

 

The context menu is nothing else but the options you get when right clicking

on a file or folder. In Windows 7, some less popular options are left out

and placed on the extended context menu, which is accessible by holding down

shift when you right click on an item (shift + right-click).

 

This applies to just about everything, from files and folders to the

desktop, and allows for quick access to specialized operations, such as

opening a file as read-only, executing something as another user, or opening

a command prompt at a specific location.
