[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open]
@="Open &With Notepad"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open\command]

This code works fine for me in 10:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\NotePad]
@="&Note Pad"
"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe"
"Position"="Top"
 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\NotePad\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe"

I want to see "open with notepad" when i right click an item. your code simply opens notepad when right clicking in on a non-item.

Hi, try Open++ if what you are trying to do is to add an item to 'Open With'.
Open++ Download - Softpedia

(I see Notepad as an option now anyway).
