## Installation

You need to copy `CustomNew` folder to your `Windows` directory (e.g. `C:\Windows`). Then run `install.reg` that's inside the CustomNew folder. If you're familiar with Registry Keys and Batch files, you can modify the submenu to meet your needs.

## Customization

Is possible to add/remove/change standard files and standard IDE or Editors.
Example of template file:
I want to add CPP standard file, so first of all we need to edit `"SubCommands"="npp;cmd;css;html;html-canvas;html-js;js;php;php-class;htaccess;py;reg;bat;ps1;vbs"` and add `;cpp` where you want, just remember that the position will be reflected in the context menu.
Now is time to create new key, here an example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\cpp]
@="C++ File"
;You can delete row below if you not desire an icon.
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe,0"
;Uncomment the line below if you want a separator above the contextmenuitem
;"CommandFlags"=dword:00000020

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\cpp\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\CustomNew\\scripts\\cpp.bat"

Now create `cpp.bat` in scripts folder and paste it:

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

;Below template file, just edit with your kind of file.
set "template=cpp"
set "extension=cpp"
set "def=New Cpp File"

set "name=%def%.%extension%"
set count=1

copy C:\Windows\CustomNew\templates\%template%.%extension% "%cd%"

:loop
if not exist "%name%" goto :continue
set /a count+=1
set "name=%def% (%count%).%extension%"
goto :loop

:continue
rename "%template%.%extension%" "%name%"

Now go to template folder and create `cpp.cpp`.
Install.reg is now complete, is time to edit uninstall.reg.
Edit uninstall.reg and add it at the end:

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\cpp]
Finish. Just repeat this procedure with all kind of file you want inside like `.cs` `.hpp` `.java` and other.
