I really get tired of going to the Control Panel everytime I need to use the Add/Remove Programs applet. Here’s how to add it to the context menu of ‘My Computer’:


Open up Notepad and copy the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Add/Remove Programs\command]
@=”control appwiz.cpl”

Save the text file and rename it to for example “XP_AddRemovePrograms_MyComputer_Context”. Then merge it into the registry by double clicking it.
