Explorer right click menu without right clicking?

<< < (2/4) > >>

skwire:
never used an app key to be honest(my spare buttons are generally rigged up for other stuff), and I am on a laptop most of the time nowadays. Is that what it does ? Again though I do not want mouse button simulation. If the app button is a real menu button then it should be possible to call the appkey code in AHK.

The Apps key will bring up the context menu for the focused application.  I understood your original query to be different than this.  I understood it to be that you wanted the Explorer context menu no matter what other application you happened to be working in.  Can you clarify?

If you had several Explorer windows open, on which unfocused window would the menu work?  Desktop?

Curt:
as mwb1100 said: Shift+F10


Shift-F10 is also a pretty standard keyboard shortcut for bringing up the context menu for the selected item.

Hi

thanks for all the great replies. My main problem is that I work with VPN drives-folder-files alot and mouse right click on those folders can be quite painful and slow because I think Windows tries to cache the files or does some other thing I do not know. So I am hoping to bypass the way Windows does the right click and just get the damn right click menu without prior processing. At least that is my basic idea.

I will try above sugesstions

I think I understand.....

Like 'folders view' on the left of explorer,
you would like the right click options to be similar.
Or even a button to push like folders view,
and have a right click view button.
