I finally upgraded to Windows 11 and I hate the extra step of opening a folder in VS Code from File Explorer.
In the new right-click context menu, you need to click “Show more options” and then “Open with code”.
I'm sure there is a way to edit the registry to add more options to the initial menu, but why reinvent the wheel. Someone already built it.
I installed “Custom Context Menu” from Windows Store. It says it's 0.99 but you can install the trial version and there are no limits. The 0.99 is there if you want to support the creator, which is amazing.
Support creators as much as possible!
This project is also open source. Feel free to check out the repository linked in the description.
After installing it I added a menu called VSCode, the exe command is the code, the param is the path, I added the matching folder and *file to make everything match. This tells the program when this menu should be displayed. I want that to always be an option.
In settings you can customize the name of the top level menu.
Now when I right-click I immediately see the menu option!
