When you right click on the desktop you get a context menu that has something like that:
-----------------------
Arrange Icons By
Refresh
-----------------------
Paste
Paste Shortcut
-----------------------
New
-----------------------
Properties
-----------------------
I need to add a link to my application on Desktop's context menu. How can I accomplish that? What registry key do I need to modify/add to get my app icon listed on the desktop context menu?
E.g.:
---------------------------
Arrange Icons By >
Refresh
---------------------------
My App Link >
Paste
Paste Shortcut
---------------------------
New
---------------------------
Properties
---------------------------
Please help. Thanks.

Not sure if we got it yet, could you post the question again? (snicker)

You posted the exact same question 4 hours ago. Don't. What you're doing is considered very rude and will only get you ignored.
We don't get paid to answer everyones questions. We do this on a volunteer basis, when we can, for as long as we can. Myself, I just woke up 30 minutes ago. Sorry if I wanted to get some breakfast before diving into your question.

Good Morning to you. 
I don't know why you can't answer questions when you are asleep. I do some of my best work whilst asleep.

Ahhh...Breakfast was good! I get today off, so I slept in! 
Now, where were we?? 
On yeah! Context menus and some guy who cross posts!
Here's an example for you import using RegEdit to add Notepad to the context menu:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Notepad]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Notepad\command]
@="\"C:\\Windows\\Notepad.exe\" \"%1\""

Sorry it is not working properly please provide me step by step solution. Thanks

OK, you save the sample I gave you as a .REG file. Just copy'n'paste it into Notepad to do that. Then you edit the registry data to provide the correct command line to launch your app, and write it in the correct format, escaping the proper characters as you go, then save it. Then you double-click that file so RegEdit will import it.

It's too long span plz provide me your answer

Uhhh...you realize this was over 2 years ago, correct??
I gave you everything you need to come up with your own solution. All it took was a tiny bit of effort on your part. No, I'm not coding this for you.

Hi
Hope someone might help me out, since I'm stuck.
I have to search the registry of several computers to find if there is a
"PendingFileenameOperation" waiting. After some try and error, I've come up
with this solution where I read the registry and add all entries' to an
array, and then add each arrayitem to a string. I then intend to search the
string for a certain path. If the count is above 0 I have a
PendingFileRenameOperation" that requires a reboot.
My problem is as follows:
1) Is this the best way to solve this problem
2) I cant get my regular expression to work.
The code I've come up with is as follows:
Dim objShell
dim strPending, strSessionManager , strAllText
Dim arrFiles ''array containing files that are being renamed
Set objRegEx = CreateObject("VBScript.Regexp")
objRegEx.Global = True
objRegEx.Pattern = "C:\Norman" ''regular expression finding all entries
containing "c:\norman\"
strPending = "PendingFileRenameOperations" ''The regkey we're going to read
strSessionManager="HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\"
''the registry
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.shell")
arrFiles=objShell.Regread(strSessionManager & strPending) 'put all entries
in registry into the array
for each StrFile in arrFiles
strAllText= strAllText & " " & strFile ''add all entries into one long
string with spaces
next
set colMatches = objRegEx.Execute(strAllText)
if colMatches.count > 0 then
''Do something if there are keys in the given directory that is pending a
filerename operation.
end if
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Why are you putting all the strings into one massive string?? It's pointless. Just run the RegEx on each string you have in the collection.
I suggest you get Expresso[^]. It's a tool that let's you build and test Regular Expressions against any string data you provide.
But, since you're not really looking for a pattern, but just checking to see if the string starts with "C:\Norman", you can just use the InStr function to check this.

Hi
thanks for the reply, just a couple of follow up questions, since I'm quite new to VB.
Should I run the regex with a "for each" statement, and nest it with a if statement to check the regex?
Would the InStr function work even though I have to check for 2 or 3 subdirectories as well (C:\norman\nvc, C:\norman\NPM)?

If I understand what your trying to get it, yes.

Yes. So long as they all start with the same root directory, "C:\Norman", yes.

Hi
I'm now trying to get this to work.
for each StrFile in arrFiles ''search array
'intExist = instr(strFile, strSearchString, vbTextCompare)
'if intExist > 0 then
if instr(strFile, "C:\norman", vbTextCompare) > 0 then
counter = counter + 1
end if
next
msgbox(Counter)
But it doesn't work. It seems to fail on the line where the if statement begings.
Please help.

You kind-of got it right. The problem is that "C:\Norman" does not equal "c:\norman". So, you force the case to match using:
if inStr(LCase(strFile), "c:\norman", vbTextCompare) = 1 Then
The equals one part is a safety measure. As written here, this will return true if and only if the string starts with any case-variation of "c:\norman".

A TabControl stores it's pages in a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tabcontrol.tabpagecollection_methods.aspx">TabPageCollection</a>[<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tabcontrol.tabpagecollection_methods.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]. You can add or remove pages from this collection.
Hope this helps

my question is not about how to add or remove tab pages, but i want to enable - disable some tab page by programming
|

I'm sorry for wasting your time, but at the time it sounded like a viable alternative to me

Its Ok Dear
As there is no any "Enabled" property of tab page so we have to check it is in tabcontrol's "SelectedIndexChanged" event like the following code
Private Sub tabCon_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tabCon.SelectedIndexChanged
If YourCondition Then
Me.tabCon.SelectedIndex = 1
End If
End Sub
to set defualt TabPage write the following code in form load event
Me.tabCon.SelectedIndex = 1 'Here 1 is the index of desired tabpage
