Add & to some strings can be useful:
$contextMenuLabel = "Open Windows &Terminal here"

In function Add-SubmenuReg (add parameter $index)
`[void](New-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "MUIVerb" -PropertyType String -Value "&$($index): $($label)")

Currently using Windows terminal stable with custom profiles in settings.json

As is probably already known, the powershell run as command for admin flashes windows during execution, and because of that it kinda looks janky.

This led me to look for a solution. I found that nearly all script solutions were just unreliable and/or too cumbersome. So I fixed it in a simpler way, using an executable designed to hide all windows + run as admin. Much easier.

I would issue a pull request, however I'm not sure whether this addition will be welcome.

Please check out my latest 2 commits in the repo to see what I did if you like it. I'd love to submit it as a PR if it's acceptable.

P.S. I'm sure you're probably thinking, "but what's in the exe?". No worries, I got you covered!

In fact, there is a benefit towards my solution. It is MUCH FASTER at startup than the previous solution, and more stable and reliable (from a aesthetic pov)

The contextmenus does not work if the username has a space in between. I was having the problem. Then I fixed it by putting the path inside an inverted comma. I believe you can replace line 140 i.e this

$command_f = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe -p `"$profileName`" -d `"%V\.`""

to this

$command_f = "`"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe`" -p `"$profileName`" -d `"%V\.`""

When I execute the scripte with powershell "AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json"
he tells me that this file doesn't exist.

I added git bash in my windows terminal:

{
    "guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}",
    "name": "Git Bash",
    "commandline": "\"%PROGRAMFILES%/git/usr/bin/bash.exe\" -i -l",
    "icon": "C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/share/git/git-for-windows.ico",
    "backgroundImage": "%OneDrive%/.config/.assets/git.jpg",
    "backgroundImageOpacity": 0.1,
    "startingDirectory": "%OneDrive%"
},

My config file looks like:

"{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}": {
    "icon": "git.ico",
    "label": "Git Bash"
},

However, after running SetupContextMenu.ps1 I assigns all Shells successfully except Git Bash. Any clue what’s the issue here?

Latest version of Windows Terminal from Chocolatey
Windows 1909

When launching any of the profiles (cmd, ubuntu or powershell) within the google drive or any of its subfolders an error occurs: error 0x8007002

It can been:

If a Terminal window already exists; open as Tab in that existing window. Don't create separate window.

Hello,
Please Add Context Menu to Drives (like below image)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\WindowsTerminal]
"ExtendedSubCommandsKey"="Directory\\ContextMenus\\WindowsTerminal"
"Icon"="C:\\Users\\Alireza\\AppData\\Local\\WindowsTerminalContextIcons\\terminal.ico"
"MUIVerb"="Open Windows Terminal here"

Cygwin maps Linux POSIX paths to Windows Path and prefixes the current path with /cygdrive/

That means, assume you are in this folder: C:\Users\Username\git\project the corresponding cygwin path would be /cygdrive/c/Users/Username/git/project

Could you prepend the /cygdrive/ if a users defines an id which contains cygwin in the commandline property. I’m not a Powershell scripter, so it woud take too much time for me.

So fun fact, I didn't have a 'shell' key in either Directory or Directory\Background in HKCU, so the script kept failing until I realized why, and manually created them. You may want to add some logic to check for both of those keys prior to attempting to create the "WindowsTerminal" key under them.

It'd be great if by right-clicking with SHIFT the menu would instead show options to open each terminal in elevated Administrator mode (prompting user for admin privileges if needed)

Hello, thanks for the great work. But somehow, I found that the second layer of the context menu won't show up when used with Double Commander.

...should read documentation first...

Hi! It would be great if there is an option to have all the shortcuts directly in the context menu and not in a submenu. With this upgrade, it would be faster to open the terminal only by 1 click, instead of doing two clicks and losing time.

Thank you for making this tool <3!

I have a few suggestions :

1. Add an option to make the items appear straight on main context menu instead of submenu.
2. Add an option to make the menu items to appear on Shift-RightClick instead of RightClick only
3. I know there is a separate issue, but - either make the items work when you select a drive or do not show them when you select a drive if possible. The current situation is not very pleasant as we get a non working menu item on drive letter.
4. I hope you're closely following the git issue and we'll get a non PowerShell dependent (annoying blue popup) "run as administrator" as soon as there is a working solution for that.

Keep up the good work !

Thank you for this project!
I like my default shell menu to be clean. Most dev options I "hide" using the Extended string value in regedit.

I’ve got no clue about PowerShell logic, but maybe you can allow users to set parameters. That is for this scenario: SetupContextMenu.ps1 --Extended

It would be really good if it had bash support

Hey, thanks for the script. You should add the following:

mkdir $resourcePath

before copying the icons so that the script doesn't fail to run the first time if the folder doesn't exist. And maybe an rmdir for uninstall.

Even after doing so, something seems off with the registry keys, I'm getting this:

Any clue why that might happen? Edit: seems like it's not picking up my profiles correctly from the raw JSON although it's valid.

Thanks!

User configs generated before microsoft/terminal#4556 store their profile list under .profiles rather than .profiles.list. There should probably be a disclaimer in the readme if not a check in the program to handle this on the fly.

@kalaschnik this is what caused the error you got, you can get around it by either deleting and regenerating your user config or editing the script to source .profiles instead of .profiles.list

If you don't have WT installed but you have WT Preview the script can't find the correct path

Hello,
Please add "Run as Admin" Items (like below image)

Thanks

Hi,
First of all I would like to thank you very much for the script, it is working very well,
very happy about that 😄.

But there is a small issue in the readme

In the readme you say that for make the script working you need to set executionPolicy to remoteSigned, but with the policy like that the script will not be launched by powershell.
For make it run you must to set the policy to Unrestricted with the command
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

And then the script will be launched correctly

Launching windows terminal using the context menu after running this script bugs out the icons on the profiles on windows terminal. This doesn't seem to happen when using the "as administrator" option, or when running windows terminal through its icon.

Opening windows terminal from context path:

Opening windows terminal form context path as admin:

Opening windows terminal from regular shortcut:

When I ran the SetupContextMenu.ps1 script, the git bash icon on the installer folder isn't defined, instead, the unknown.ico is defined.
