Installation

To install the context menu item, run the install executable. By default, it will use the path C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\Cursor.exe for the Cursor application. You can also provide a custom path to the Cursor executable as a command-line argument.

Compilation

I used MinGW to compile this project, but you can use any other compiler that supports C++. Example commands:

g++ -o install install.cpp -static
g++ -o uninstall uninstall.cpp -static
