Power - Add Cascading Desktop Context Menu in Windows 8

How to Add a Power Cascading Desktop Context Menu in Windows 8 and 8.1


information   Information
This will show you how to add or remove a cascading (expandable) Power menu to the desktop context menu for all users to quickly Lock, Switch user, Sign out (log off), Sleep, Hibernate, Hybrid Shut down, Full Shut down, Restart, or Restart to Boot Options in Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows 8.1, and Windows RT 8.1.

You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to add or remove the "Power" context menu from the desktop.

If you would like to have this customized for you, then please post what you would like in the Power context menu instead. I'll be happy to whip it up for you. :)

Note   Note

  • Sleep - You will need to disable hibernate for this to sleep instead of hibernate.
  • Hibernate - You will need to enable hibernate for it to work. It is by default.
  • Hybrid Shut down - You will need to enable hibernate and have fast startup turned on for this to do a hybrid shut down instead of a full shut down. It is by default.
  • Full Shut down - This will do a normal full shut down no matter if you have fast startup turned on or off.
  • Slide to Shut down - Windows 8.1 introduces this option to be able to shut down your PC by simply dragging a screen down, or sliding a touch screen down.

Tip   Tip
If you would prefer to add Lock, Switch user, Sign out, Shut down, or Restart as a separate desktop context menu item instead, then see the Related Tutorials links at the bottom of this tutorial.


EXAMPLE: "Power" Cascading Context Menu
Power_context_menu.jpg





Here's How:

1. To Add "Power" to the Desktop Context Menu
A) Click/tap on the Download button below to download the file below, and go to step 3 below.​
Add_Power_to_Desktop_Context_Menu.reg
download

2. To Remove "Power" from the Desktop Context Menu
A) Click/tap on the Download button below to download the file below, and go to step 3 below.​
Remove_Power_from_Desktop_Context_Menu.reg
download

3. Save the REG file to your desktop.

4. Double click/tap on the REG file to merge it, and click/tap on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK when prompted to approve the merge.

5. When finished, you can delete the downloaded .reg file if you like.

6. Right click on your desktop to see the change.
NOTE: You can press the Windows+ D keys to go to the desktop.


Note   Note
The Switch User option will only work in the Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8 Enterprise editions by default.

If you have the Windows 8 edition, then you will need to also do this below for the Switch User option to work.

  • Click on the Download button below to download the tsdiscon.zip file.
  • Save the tsdiscon.zip file to your desktop.
  • Open the tsdiscon.zip file, and extract (drag and drop) the tsdiscon.exe file to your desktop.
  • Unblock the extracted tsdiscon.exe file.
  • Move the tsdiscon.exe file into the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
  • If prompted, click/tap on Continue and Yes (UAC) to approve.

download





That's it,
Shawn

Looks like the /full switch for the shutdown command was removed in Windows 8 Release Preview. Tutorial updated for it. To update, you will just need to download the updated Add_Power_to_Desktop_Context_Menu.reg file in the tutorial and merge it.

Hello EvilCraze,

What part of it didn't work? Any error messages?

Were you able to download the add .reg file and merge it?

EvilCraze,

Odd, it works perfectly fine for me with the same Windows 8 64-bit as you have. Do you have this issue with any other context menu not expanding out?

What language is your Windows in?

If not English, then double check the registry entries below in the .reg file to see if the name of the default keys and entries match yours with the language difference.

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Hello Highlander,

What language is your Windows 8? If not English, then that may be an issue.

Do you have UAC enabled to at least the default level?

Do you have issues with any other context menus not expanding?

Could you also post screenshots showing what you see?
