Adding WordPad to the right-click file

Here are the steps:

1. Use the Start menu’s Run option to launch Regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*. (This should be the very first subtree.)
3. A key called "shellex" should already be here. Add a new key called "Shell" at the same tree level as "shellex."
4. Under the "Shell" key, create another key called "WordPad."
5. Create another key under the "WordPad" key called "Command."
6. You'll see a string value named Default when you highlight the "Command" key. Double-click Default and enter "C:\Program Files\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE %1". (Note: Don’t enter the quotes, and make sure to use the appropriate path to the file wordpad.exe.) Click OK.
7. Exit Regedit and test it out.
