I have found that "CommandFlags"=dword:00000040 will add a separator below an entry, though only to a submenu (under the "subcommands"="" string). Example here.
Is there a way to add a separator in the main context menu?
The example I am using:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\Delete With Rimraf]
@="Delete With Rimraf"
"CommandFlags"=dword:00000040
This gives no separator.
This example feature a separator after and before the item, this entry is for VirusTotal Uploader
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\vtuploader]
@="Send to VirusTotal"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\VirusTotalUploader2\\VirusTotalUploader2.2.exe,0"
"SeparatorBefore"=""
"SeparatorAfter"=""
For other applications loaded over shellex it's not possible to add separator over registry, the injected dll add/remove separator itself, you need then to change the dll code and recompile it to achieve what you want here is an example with notepad++ https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/3092/commits
InsertMenu(hMenu, nIndex, MF_STRING | MF_BYPOSITION, idCmd++, m_szMenuTitle);
Hi I'm the author of the blog entry you refer to (https://blog.sverrirs.com/2014/05/creating-cascading-menu-items-in.html)
Your options to manipulate the main context menu are quite restricted. The MSDN documentation indicates that you might only be able to use the ECF_SEPARATORBEFORE (0x20) value for top-level items.
