Change Name/Description in windows context menu
Solution 1:
Right idea, wrong key. You'll need to find the sister key and do two things. First delete the "FriendlyTypeName" if it has one. Then edit the default value. I'll example you with .reg / regfile.
The .reg files template is in HKCR\.reg
, but the "Registration Entries" text displayed in 'New' is from the HKCR\regfile
default @ value.
Step 1) Delete / rename the 'FriendlyTypeName' if your key has one.
Step 2) Edit the default value to the new name. Effect is immediate.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile]
@="Registration Entries"
"FriendlyTypeName"=-
