I saw this picture in another thread, how do I get my right-click desktop menu to look like this, specifically adding the Windows Version line to my context menu? In general this looks very good, is this a helper app of some sort? Thanks!

The how-to must be on that thread you got it from.

@badrobot there is no how-to on that thread, it was an @Edwin post of his custom context menu with no explanation.

Here's the code:
NOTE: I've edited the code to use an in house icon!

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\ Windows Version]
"Position"="Bottom"
"Icon"="imageres.dll,-5308"
"SubCommands"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\ Windows Version\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\ Windows Version\shell\001flyout]
@="Version 22H2 - Build 22581.100"

Copy the code, paste it into Notepad, edit it for your specs, save it as a .reg file then run it.

... but you'll need to supply a path to your own icon, and, fill in your own Build number...

(The reason there's only one flyout is because I was going to add other info on additional flyouts but didn't get around to it yet!)

I've edited the above code to use an in house icon!
(It's actually the Select All icon, but it'll do!)

If your Build number is different, you'll still have to edit that.
