issue with tweaks when placed under a category

[PitchAbyss]

hi @moudey i have made atweak to restart explorer and placed under context menu

when its not placed under any category it works fine like this

but when i place it under a category with
item(find='restart exlorer ' pos=0 sep='bottom' menu="Misc Tools")

the further menu doesnt appear

---

Also I am trying to remove vlc

commands i used

item(find='add to vlc media player's playlist' find='add to vlc media player's playlist' vis=vis.remove)
item(find='play with vlc media player' find='play with vlc media player' vis=vis.remove)

but still they are intact...thankyou very much

[moudey]

Is this "restart explorer" item static or dynamic?

---

Also I am trying to remove vlc

Use double quotes if the text contains single quotes or vice versa

item(find="add to vlc media player's playlist" vis=vis.remove)
item(find="play with vlc media player" vis=vis.remove)

Or use | sign. To search for more than one phrase

item(find="add to vlc media player's playlist | play with vlc media player" vis=vis.remove)

Or through this command it removes all items that contain "vlc media player".

item(find='vlc media player' vis=vis.remove)

i am not sure if its dynamic or static ...how can i check this sir ?

also when i right click on a folder there are shortcuts for even apps that i uninstalled...i think thats creating issue with removinf the vlc
anyhow i can reset the context menu sir ?

[moudey]

This item appears on the desktop only, so we define the type and search by matching the name of the item with double quotes inside find property

item(type='desktop' find='"restart explorer"' pos=0 sep='bottom' menu="Misc Tools")

[PitchAbyss]

you are simply the best sir , amazingggg :)

aah same another one is

item(type='desktop' find='"system file checker"' pos=0 sep='bottom' menu="Misc Tools")

the further menu doesnt opens sir

[moudey]

This command is correct and should be work. Restart the explorer to load the settings changes

[PitchAbyss]

This command is correct and should be work. Restart the explorer to load the settings changes

it surely worked for restart explorer but not working for the system file checker

edit :
i guess its the issue with my windows...il reinstall and update u sir

[moudey]

You can add these commands directly to Shell instead of adding them to the registry

menu(title='Restart Explorer' image='explorer.exe')
{
    item(title='Restart Explorer Now' cmd args='/c taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe')
    item(title='Restart Explorer with Pause' cmd args='/c @@echo off & echo. & echo Stopping explorer.exe process . . . & echo. & taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & echo. & echo. & echo Waiting to start explorer.exe process when you are ready . . . & pause && start explorer.exe && exit')
}

menu(title='System File Checker' image='WmiPrvSE.exe')
{
    tem(title='Run System File Checker' admin=true cmd='PowerShell' args="-windowstyle hidden -command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/k, sfc /scannow' -Verb runAs\"")
    item(title='System File Checker log' cmd='PowerShell' args='(sls [SR] $env:windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log -s).Line >"$env:userprofile\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt\"')
}

one last thing sir

is it possible to move these under like this

[moudey]

Paste these items inside the "Misc Tools" items as in the following example:

dynamic
{
    ...
    menu(title="Misc Tools")
    {
        menu(title='Restart Explorer' image='explorer.exe')
        {
            item(title='Restart Explorer Now' cmd args='/c taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe')
            item(title='Restart Explorer with Pause' cmd args='/c @@echo off & echo. & echo Stopping explorer.exe process . . . & echo. & taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & echo. & echo. & echo Waiting to start explorer.exe process when you are ready . . . & pause && start explorer.exe && exit')
        }

        menu(title='System File Checker' image='WmiPrvSE.exe')
        {
            item(title='Run System File Checker' admin=true cmd='PowerShell' args="-windowstyle hidden -command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/k, sfc /scannow' -Verb runAs\"")
            item(title='System File Checker log' cmd='PowerShell' args='(sls [SR] $env:windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log -s).Line >"$env:userprofile\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt\"')
        }
    }
}

Don't forget to delete these items from the registry to avoid duplicating them

reg delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\Restart Explorer" /f
reg delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\SFC" /f

@moudey sir one quick question

i need to always run a script with admin privilidges...is there a way to do ? either in script or always making the cmd run as admin when i run this script

[moudey]

Set the admin property to 1 to always execute the command as Administrator.

admin=1

[PitchAbyss]

Set the admin property to 1 to always execute the command as Administrator.

admin=1

Where do I add this admin = 1

item(title='cache clean' image=\uE1A8 pos=3 sep='bottom' menu="My Scripts" cmd args='/k "D:\cache.bat"')

[moudey]

item(title='cache clean' image=\uE1A8 pos=3 sep='bottom' menu="My Scripts" admin=1 cmd args='/k "D:\cache.bat"')

[PitchAbyss]

@moudey hi sir i ran into another confusion i hope u can help....when i select single file the options are all available but when i select multiple files all options are gone

[moudey]

Please attach the configuration file

[PitchAbyss]

hi thanks sir here it is

shell.zip

[moudey]

Add a mode property to the item and assign it a multiple value

menu(mode="multiple" title="Misc Tools" image=\uE0F6)
{
}

[PitchAbyss]

hi sir sorry i am confused could u edit the above file for "bulk rename here" please

[moudey]

Modified configuration file. Improved removal of items, making them in one line, and moving them to the front of the static items section.

[PitchAbyss]

thankyou sooo much sir works flawless... will be getting a coffee ur way asap :)

[PitchAbyss]

@moudey a coffe your way sir :)

To get all these options under one drive

is this the correct way ? and if so what shall i search and place there

[PitchAbyss]

thanks for the command but i think there is some error shell no longer loads after this

[moudey]

debug version

modify(find='always keep on this device|free up space|copy link|manage access|view online' menu="/One drive")

version 1.8.1

item(find='always keep on this device|free up space|copy link|manage access|view online' menu="/One drive")

[PitchAbyss]

sir though those options dont appear but there's no one drive option either

[moudey]

try this

item(find='always keep on this device|free up space|copy link|manage access|view online' parent="One drive")

[PitchAbyss]

still same sir

[PitchAbyss]

@moudey any help sir ?

[moudey]

sir though those options dont appear but there's no one drive option either

If there are no items in the menu, they are removed by default

[PitchAbyss]

they got removed after this

item(find='always keep on this device|free up space|copy link|manage access|view online' parent="One drive")

[moudey]

Put it in the static section

[PitchAbyss]

Put it in the static section

It was placed under static sir
