    How to add "Turn Aero on and off icon to context menu?


    I added Turn Off aero and Turn on Aero to context menu but they don't work. I do this way. But nothing happen.

    1. Open regedit and goto:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
    2. Right-click on the "Shell" key and select "New -> Key".
    3. Give it name Aero ON.
    4. Now create another key under "Aero ON" with the name “command” and in right-side pane set value of “Default” to:
    Rundll32 dwmApi #102
    5. Now repeat steps 2-4 to add "Aero OFF" option, i.e. Right-click on the "Shell" key and select "New -> Key".
    6. Give it name Aero OFF.
    7. Now create another key under "Aero OFF" with the name “command” and in right-side pane set value of “Default” to:
    Rundll32 dwmApi #104
    8. Thats it. Now you'll get both "Aero ON" and "Aero OFF" options in Desktop Context Menu.

    Hey Killer Bee

    I saw your post a week ago and I think I sourced the same instructions (AskVG??).

    I tried it out...... and couldn't get it to work either.

    I was going to post my failure results but I had an urgent Call of Duty with a few Guinness friends of mine. It consequently slipped my mind........
