What I want is to right click on a .png file and edit it with "Snip & Sketch" app. I know it can be done via the Open with sub-menu, but I would like to have it pinned to the top of context menu (below open)

enter image description here

I followed this tutorial of how to add it to register editor.

I found the way launch the app via CMD in this post.

I tried to do this fo a .png file:

I tried a few methods. None of them worked.

  • explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App %1
  • C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App %1
  • "C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe" "shell:appsFolder\\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App" "%1"

Finally I rebooted my PC. I have not had any luck thus far. Any tips?

  • In Windows 10 and Windows 11, right click on PNG file and "Open With" already includes the Snip 'n Sketch App.

  • Yes, I included that picture in my original post. Quoting myself "I know it can be done via the Open with sub-menu, but I would like to have it pinned to the top of context menu"

  • Gray on black is difficult to see. I do not change sort orders on Open With or any other context because (a) it does not add time to my day and (b) it is prone to error.

Thanks to the comment by @w32sh above, I got it to the context menu.

  • Double-click the enclosed registry file “snip-sketch-context-menu.reg“
