I am looking for a registry edit to add the “Device Manager” shortcut to the context menu, not just when you right click on “My Computer”. I’d like to be able to just right click from the desktop and select the device manager from the context menu.

There is a program called Easy Context Menu v1.6 that will do this but it adds it to a sub folder in the context menu, I would like it to be in the root context menu. I analyzed the registry change the program makes to add this to the menu but I don’t know enough about how the registry works to remove the submenu that it creates.

I’d appreciate anyone who can help or knows how to do this.

Thanks!

Right clicking on the start button brings up the power user menu no matter where you are in windows. Device manager is there.
