Sep 26, 2017 Just got email notification for an update to Piriform's CC Cleaner, and checked their site to see if there was one for the Mac. And there is! Checked here and don't see anything leaping out at me as to whether or not it is a good idea, functions, whatever. Anybody think CC Cleaner for Mac is a good thing?

How-To Geek Forums / Windows 7
Is there anyway possible that I can change the tiles for the individual items listed in the context menu? I had added more programs to the context menu through the registry and I figured I would have to do it that way to but I dont know how to even begin trying to mess with color. I would just like it to be easier to recognize certain items.

This might just do it, but I haven't tried it. It comes from a safe site, and safe author,
http://vistastylebuilder.com/windows7.html (It is not free)
Trusted source, but in my experience half his apps don't work and he doesn't provide a shareware test download.
You'd be better off having a look around DeviantArt for someone who has done the same.
https://skyeyqa.weebly.com/blog/laravel-51-generate-key. I've done all my modifications by hand. It's just a matter of finding out where the data for it is stored.
In Vista icons on entries in the rightclick menu are not supported in the registry (they are in 7).
You might want to search for an addon that enables this option for Vista. That way you won't have a different colour in the menu (because frankly, I've never come across it), but at least it will be a lot easier to recognize items.
Post back with your finds, please!
Thanks Sarah. It also depends on which theme you use. Cloud drive mac app. If Aero, then no way can you easily change the context menu (as far as I know)
@ SJ,
i knew you'd chime in since you were looking for a way to achieve the same exact thing. who knows, if more people start looking for this one of these geniuses that write these apps will eventually put something out there to provide the ability to add the icons alongside the entries. looking forward to it! (RE: https://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/rightclick-menu-added-entries-with-icons?replies=2 ) ; )
Yep, that's right:)
I was looking too. Did see some interesting things, though forgot to bookmark them and never exactly what I had in mind (I don't want to install a program that needs to run on startup to have this effect, I want to tweak the system itself :D).
Still looking (when I have the time LOL - so much to do,so little time, right? ;D) so I'll post back here if I find something MariJade can use.
you can add icon to them and is simply registry hacking. my right click on desktop
[IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/2irku1j.png[/IMG]
Example
;7 Add Remove + Background right click
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellAdd Remove] @=' 'Icon'='imageres.dll,-161' 'Position'='Bottom' [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellAdd Removecommand] @='control appwiz.cpl'
heres how I created this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144171%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Sorry don't see color in there
Hi Veegertx,
Thanks for that :)
The topic is indeed for win7 (I hadn't noticed before, my bad :S). I use Vista and there it doesn't work, which Is why I was looking. Don't know if the OP would be interested - haven't seen him back yet.
Ssh for mac. I like your entry 'Kill Not Responding Tasks'. How did you add that one?
Sarah
All mine are coded for background in Win 7 but can be changed
Win 7 version ;27 Kill Not Responding Tasks + Background right click [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellKill Not Responding Tasks] @=' 'Icon'='explorer.exe,-111' 'Position'='Bottom' [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellKill Not Responding Taskscommand] @='C:WindowsSystem32taskkill.exe /F /FI 'STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING'
Now Earlier version
would be this. Can't click on Background but right click on any file anywhere, desktop, windows explorer and it will appear
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellKill Not Responding Tasks]
@=' 'Icon'='explorer.exe,-111' 'Position'='Bottom'
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellKill Not Responding Taskscommand]
@='C:WindowsSystem32taskkill.exe /F /FI 'STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING'
You can change that 'Position'='Bottom' to Top if you like
Don't know if this helps but it will work with Vista

@ Veegertx
Sweet :) I like it!
Edit: germ-x we posted at the same time ;)
uhhhh .
Veegertx & SJ, can we get that in the english version please ?: 0 [for the lesser geeky of us] thanks!
also, this is posted in the 7's forum. SJ mentioned here that w7 does this (adding of the icons) automatically. ???
anyone played with the app g-x linked to, to verify if it will add the entries along with the icons?
trying to keep up with you guys.
thanks.
Adding Reg files is easy and less trouble installing a program to do it. I am reg geek and prefer to do it simple.
Open a new text file and paste this below. Save it and rename to Kill Not Responding Tasks.reg. Double click it and it will be added. Right click your desktop and it will appear there.
------ below here -----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellKill Not Responding Tasks]
@=' 'Icon'='explorer.exe,-111' 'Position'='Bottom'
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellKill Not Responding Taskscommand]
@='C:WindowsSystem32taskkill.exe /F /FI 'STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING'
LOL Vissy, here you go :)
Just copy the following text a txt file and save it with the extension reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellKill Not Responding Tasks]
@=' 'Icon'='explorer.exe,-111' 'Position'='Bottom' [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellKill Not Responding Taskscommand] @='C:WindowsSystem32taskkill.exe /F /FI 'STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING'
This regfile will add 'Kill Not Responding Tasks' to your rightclick menu and it doesn't matter where you click. You can click in the middle of a folder or on your desktop.
The second regfile goes as follows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellKill Not Responding Tasks]
@=' 'Icon'='explorer.exe,-111' 'Position'='Bottom'
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellKill Not Responding Taskscommand]
@='C:WindowsSystem32taskkill.exe /F /FI 'STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING'
https://aqpigp.weebly.com/wow-legion-dmg-ranking.html. This one will add 'Kill Not Responding Tasks' when you click on a file.
More clear now?
(and for once I would like to be able to make my text appear in red LOL)
Edit: Veegertx, posted at the same time ;)
very clear - thanks so much SJ. but while i can see how its useful - i dont see how it has anything to do with the inquiry or the previously mentioned 'adding icons to the right click entries'.
??? thanks all the same, of course, Veegertx but again - just trying to keep here.
edit:
didnt see your post Veegertx - thanks again.
from above registry entries this sets icon on the menus. You tune them to what you want to see. Example
'Icon'='explorer.exe,-111'
Setting color on them is what OP asked but far as I know right now I see no way.
i think im getting it.
im a little slow - but eventually get there : ) thanks again Veegertx.

Yeah XI, you are right. But this is an intersting subject. Because of my bad eyesight I have changed to a high contrast desktop - and there you can change the colors of about anything. Only drawback is that you lose the aero, but that is OK.

funny Germ-X, :) perhaps easier for those can't make the files themselves
I did get the 'Kill Not Responding Tasks' shortcut from Askvg where I made the right click background thing then later on those sights pick up on my stuff.

The Terminal app allows you to control your Mac using a command prompt. Why would you want to do that? Well, perhaps because you’re used to working on a command line in a Unix-based system and prefer to work that way. Terminal is a Mac command line interface. There are several advantages to using Terminal to accomplish some tasks — it’s usually quicker, for example. In order to use it, however, you’ll need to get to grips with its basic commands and functions. Once you’ve done that, you can dig deeper and learn more commands and use your Mac’s command prompt for more complex, as well as some fun, tasks.

How to open Terminal on Mac
The Terminal app is in the Utilities folder in Applications. To open it, either open your Applications folder, then open Utilities and double-click on Terminal, or press Command - spacebar to launch Spotlight and type 'Terminal,' then double-click the search result.
You’ll see a small window with a white background open on your desktop. In the title bar are your username, the word 'bash' and the dimensions of the window in pixels. Bash stands for 'Bourne again shell'. There are a number of different shells that can run Unix commands, and on the Mac Bash is the one used by Terminal.
If you want to make the window bigger, click on the bottom right corner and drag it outwards. If you don’t like the black text on a white background, go to the Shell menu, choose New Window and select from the options in the list.
If Terminal feels complicated or you have issues with the set-up, let us tell you right away that there are alternatives. MacPilot allows to get access to over 1,200 macOS features without memorizing any commands. Basically, a third-party Terminal for Mac that acts like Finder.
For Mac monitoring features, try iStat Menus. The app collects data like CPU load, disk activity, network usage, and more — all of which accessible from your menu bar.
Basic Mac commands in Terminal
The quickest way to get to know Terminal and understand how it works is to start using it. But before we do that, it’s worth spending a little time getting to know how commands work. To run a command, you just type it at the cursor and hit Return to execute.
Every command is made up of three elements: the command itself, an argument which tells the command what resource it should operate on, and an option that modifies the output. So, for example, to move a file from one folder to another on your Mac, you’d use the move command 'mv' and then type the location of the file you want to move, including the file name and the location where you want to move it to.

You should now see a list of all the files in your Documents folder — ls is the command for listing files.
To see a list of all the commands available in Terminal, hold down the Escape key and then press y when you see a question asking if you want to see all the possibilities. To see more commands, press Return.
Unix has its own built-in manual. So, to learn more about a command type man [name of command], where 'command' is the name of the command you want find out more about.
Terminal rules
There are a few things you need to bear in mind when you’re typing commands in Terminal, or any other command-line tool. Firstly, every character matters, including spaces. So when you’re copying a command you see here, make sure you include the spaces and that characters are in the correct case.
You can’t use a mouse or trackpad in Terminal, but you can navigate using the arrow keys. If you want to re-run a command, tap the up arrow key until you reach it, then press Return. To interrupt a command that’s already running, type Control-C.
I98 Visual Cleaner Don't Open On My Mac 2017
Commands are always executed in the current location. So, if you don’t specify a location in the command, it will run wherever you last moved to or where the last command was run. Use the cdcommand, followed by a directory path, like in Step 1 above, to specify the folder where you want a command to run.
There is another way to specify a location: go to the Finder, navigate to the file or folder you want and drag it onto the Terminal window, with the cursor at the point where you would have typed the path.
Here’s another example. This time, we’ll create a new folder inside your Documents directory and call it 'TerminalTest.'
Go back to the Finder, open Text Edit and create a new file called 'TerminalTestFile.rtf'. Now save it to the TerminalTest folder in your Documents folder.
In the Terminal window, type cd ~/Documents/TerminalTest then Return. Now type lsand you should see 'TerminalTestFile' listed.
To change the name of the file, type this, pressing Return after every step:
That will change the name of the file to 'TerminalTestFile2'. You can, of course, use any name you like. The mv command means 'move' and you can also use it to move files from one directory to another. In that case, you’d keep the file names the same, but specify another directory before typing the the second instance of the name, like this:
mv ~/Documents/TerminalTest TerminalTestFile.rtf ~/Documents/TerminalTest2 TerminalTestFile.rtf

Terminal can be used for all sorts of different tasks. Some of them can be performed in the Finder, but are quicker in Terminal. Others access deep-rooted parts of macOS that aren’t accessible from the Finder without specialist applications. Here are a few examples.
Copy files from one folder to another
Download files from the internet![]()
You’ll need the URL of the file you want to download in order to use Terminal for this.
If you want to download the file to a directory other than your Downloads folder, replace ~/Downloads/ with the path to that folder, or drag it onto the Terminal window after you type the cd command.
Change the default location for screenshots
If you don’t want macOS to save screenshots to your Desktop when you press Command-Shift-3, you can change the default location in Terminal
Change the default file type for screenshots
By default, macOS saves screenshots as .png files. To change that to .jpg, do this:
Delete all files in a folder
The command used to delete, or remove, files in Terminal is rm. So, for example, if you wanted to remove a file in your Documents folder named 'oldfile.rtf' you’d use cd ~/Documents to go to your Documents folder then to delete the file. As it stands, that will delete the file without further intervention from you. If you want to confirm the file to be deleted, use -i as in rm -i oldfile.rtf
To delete all the files and sub-folders in a directory named 'oldfolder', the command is rm -R oldfolder and to confirm each file should be deleted, rm -iR oldfolder
Just because you can use Terminal to delete files on your Mac, doesn’t mean you should. It’s a relatively blunt instrument, deleting only those files and folders you specify.

If your goal in removing files or folders is to free up space on your Mac, or to remove junk files that are causing your Mac to run slowly, it’s far better to use an app designed for the purpose. CleanMyMac X is one such app.
I98 Visual Cleaner Don't Open On My Mac Account
It will scan your Mac for files and recommend which ones you can delete safely, as well as telling you how much space you’ll save. And once you’ve decided which files to delete, you can get rid of them in a click. You can download CleanMyMac here.
As you can see, while Terminal may look scary and seem like it’s difficult to use, it really isn’t. The key is learning a few commands, such as those we’ve outlined above, and getting to know the syntax for those commands.

However, you should be careful when using Terminal, it’s a powerful tool that has deep access to your Mac’s system files. Check commands by googling them if you’re not sure what they do. And if you need to delete files to save space, use an app like CleanMyMac X to do it. It’s much safer!
