Recently we posted about a cool registry trick which adds lots of useful system shortcuts like Control Panel, Task Manager, Device Manager, etc in My Computer context menu. This trick works in Windows XP, Vista and 7.

Add Control Panel, Registry Editor and Other Useful Shortcuts in My Computer Context Menu

The only missing thing in the above trick was the icon of the shortcut. The newly added shortcuts don't have any icon with them.

Heads up to our reader "Michael White" who sent us a modified registry script which also adds the missing icons with the shortcuts:

It also adds 2 new shortcuts: Disk Cleanup and Windows Update. So now you get following 11 new shortcuts in My Computer context menu:

• Programs (Add/Remove Programs)
• Run Cleanup on this system
• Control Panel
• Device Manager
• Event Viewer
• Manage
• MSConfig
• Registry Editor
• Services
• Task Manager
• Windows Update

Just download following ZIP file, extract it and run desired REG file. It'll ask for confirmation, accept it:
