Icon doesn't appear at Context Menu

[Gabarito]

Please consider creating a right click/context menu item for all items:

• From the Start menu, search for:
  regedit
• Click Registry Editor.
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*
• Create a new Key called:
  shell
• navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell
• Create a new Key called:
  Find in Everything...
• In this key, create a new String Value, set the name to:
  Icon
• Set the value to:
  C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe,0
• Create a new Key called:
  command
• In this key, set the (Default) value to:
  "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -parentpath "%1" -select "%1"
• Now you can right click your file and click Find in Everything...

I have a context menu for Everything and it works fine.
But I can't display an icon image to it. Nothing appears:

No matters I did, that icon nevers appears where it supposes to do.

I create "Icon" string key, "Icon" expanded string key, "IconPath" string key, "IconPath" expanded string key, but none of these works.
I have no icon before "Search Everything 1.5a..."

My keys are stored at:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Everything

Code: Select all

Is there a requirements for the icon resolution?
Searching around, I read that it should be 32x32 pixels.

I use Resource Hacker to inspect .DLL files.

I tried it too, without success...

I'm seeing the expected results with the Icon set to C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll,1 on Windows 7 in Windows Explorer.

Do you see the icon in the context menu when right clicking a folder in Windows Explorer?

Maybe it's the custom context menu handler you are using?



The Everything icon contains the following sizes:
16x16
24x24
32x32
48x48
256x256

Thanks for the answer.

I don't see any icon I put, even if I change to a single icon file, like "C:\favicon.ico".

The only icons I see are these:

I had seen some keys names like this, "ContextMenuHandlers", but I don't know how to tweak them.
I also see some CLSID keys, like this, "{B41DB860-64E4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}", when refers to icon, but I can't understand them also.

The Everything icon contains the following sizes:
16x16
24x24
32x32
48x48
256x256

I can put any size, as long as it works.

I can see a default icon key below every key I tried to insert an icon.
Is there a chance that this is canceling, overwriting or preventing my custom icon?

But that "%SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,3" doesn't appear also.

No, this is normal.

Please try removing the IconPath value.
This value is not needed.
(I didn't have any issues when adding IconPath)



Please try ShExView to manage your shell context menu extensions.
Shell extensions can cause the icon to be missing.

I removed all IconPath strings from other keys I put.

Good tool, like many others from NirSoft.
I'll try to use it and will report back.

All my Shell Extensions displayed by NirSoft tool has a CLSID value.
And the strings that I inserted in Registry for icon image don't appear in the list.
I searched "Context Menu" type.

How to fix some wrong ShellExt?
How could it help to show icon image in the Context Menu?

I don't know how to use it.
