Snipping Tool via context menu in a browser - how to

I've successfully added Snipping Tool to the context menu using kintomaniac's ContextMenuTweaker. But, how do you make the Snipping Tool appear in the context menu when right-clicking in a browser?

Tried in IE and FF.

Windows 7 HP 64bit SP1

I'm looking for a way to capture a screenshot using Snipping Tool via the context menu of a browser.

Thanks

Here you can see Snipping Tool when called from the desktop.



Here you can't see Snipping Tool when called from the browser.

I'm not sure if we can add custom menu for browsers.

That's a shame, ought to be reported as a feature enhancement or bug.
I guess ScreenGrab remains than.

It's not a bug

None the less, I think it should have been written so it functions in at least IE.

Anyway, guess I'll look at Mozilla to see if it's possible since learning from you it's browser independent. Had a look at those FF extensions and see no mention of ScreenGrab, guess it is pretty old, but it is still working for me for now.

Warning: Maybe Shawn could check this out with approval or disapproval before anyone tries it. All I know is that it worked for me.

Just for kicks, I just did it so I know it's possible. I did get the security warning which can be checked to not show again.

Here's what I did, added entries to the Registry for the menuext.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Snipping Tool]
@="file://E:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Snip\\snip.htm"
"Contexts"=dword:00000001

You will have to change the path for where you place the snip.htm file. Note on my Win 7 partition, I'm E:

I placed the snip.htm code below into a created Snip folder in the path above. The code has to be copied and saved as snip.htm. Of course you can change the name of it but you would also have to change it in the registry code above.
snip.htm code

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.run("SnippingTool.exe");
</SCRIPT>

Snipping Tool

Cool, thanks, I got it in the context menu of IE v9 but clicking it does nothing although it works via run snippingtool.exe.

Thanks for bumping me to review the latest screen capture add-ons, this one, although slow, is great, ScreenGrab with online upload.
