Windows 7 - Cascading "My Computer" menu in desktop context menu |

Cascading "My Computer" menu in desktop context menu I recently switched from XP to Windows 7 x64. I've used Stardock RightClick for years to make a cascading "My Computer" menu in the desktop context menu. This is a very handy way to browse files and folders. I found the tutorial @sevenforums to make a shortcut to "My Computer", but I really like to make this a cascading menu (as you get when you make a Toolbar on the Taskbar).
Any ideas?

Thanks, but I already found that one also and it's not what I need. I meant the automatically "branching" menu like the one you get when you make a Desktop Toolbar in the Taskbar. You can use it to "surf" the contents of the folder/drive/computer. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 |

I am personally unaware of any way to do that. Perhaps someone else will reply.

I'm still looking for a way to add a cascading menu like "Computer" or "Control Panel" to the desktop context menu (like the toolbar on the taskbar)... | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 |

Thanks, but no.
Attached is a screen-dump of my custom desktop context menu in WinXP.
I use Stardock RightClick for this, but unfortunately it is terminated.
What I need is an automatically cascading menu showing the contents of a folder/drive, like in my image. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Cascading "My Computer" menu in desktop context menu problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:57 AM. |  |
