If you are an efficiency aficionado, find out how to add Bluetooth in right click menu and get better value for your clicks!
Note: This guide involves making registry files. If you are new to making registry files, go through one of our earlier guides on a different registry-file-based tweak to learn how to make registry files (with step-by-step screenshots!) in our post on how to reduce title bar size in Windows 10.
While sending files via Bluetooth has become dated through various other methods for users to send content from the laptops to smartphones or tablets, it is still better to have an alternative means of sending files at handy should you ever decide to have a back up.
This tweak will teach you how to map a Bluetooth shortcut to your right click menu (similar to Include in Library)so you can have a whole new avenue of sending files in a fix.
As mentioned at the start of this article, we will be making registry files, and as always:
- We will provide you a guide on how to enable / disable the tweak
- Have ready-made registry files for you to download and run.
Now, to start with, right click on any region of your desktop, click on New, followed by Text Document, enter the following text in the body.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetooth]
“Icon”=”bthudtask.exe”
“MUIVerb”=”Bluetooth”
“Position”=”Middle”
“SubCommands”=””
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 1menu]
“MUIVerb”=”Bluetooth Devices (classic)”
“Icon”=””[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 1menucommand]
@=”explorer shell:::{28803F59-3A75-4058-995F-4EE5503B023C}”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 2menu]
“MUIVerb”=”Bluetooth Devices”
“Icon”=””[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 2menucommand]
@=”explorer ms-settings:bluetooth”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 3menu]
“MUIVerb”=”Bluetooth File Transfer”
“Icon”=””
“CommandFlags”=dword:00000020[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 3menucommand]
@=”fsquirt.exe”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 4menu]
“MUIVerb”=”Options in Bluetooth Settings”
“Icon”=””
“CommandFlags”=dword:00000020[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 4menucommand]
@=”rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL bthprops.cpl,,1”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 5menu]
“MUIVerb”=”COM Ports in Bluetooth Settings”
“Icon”=””[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 5menucommand]
@=”rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL bthprops.cpl,,2″
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 6menu]
“MUIVerb”=”Hardware in Bluetooth Settings”
“Icon”=””[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetoothshell 6menucommand]
@=”rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL bthprops.cpl,,3″
Once you have done so, Navigate to File in the toolbar and click Save As. Save the file under any name you wish as long as it ends with .reg, and make sure you set File Type to All Files. Double click to run it, which will add Bluetooth in right click menu.
If you wish to undo the tweak, you simply repeat the above process but in the body of the text document, insert the following lines of text;
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDesktopBackgroundShellBluetooth]
And as always, here are some readily made registry files for you to download and run without any need of doing the above, to add Bluetooth in right click menu.
