To run an application with parameters from the context menu, you can follow these steps:

  1. Locate the application's executable file (.exe).
  2. Right-click on the executable file and select "Create Shortcut".
  3. Right-click on the newly created shortcut and select "Properties".
  4. In the "Target" field, add the parameters after the path to the executable. For example: "C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe" -parameter1 -parameter2.
  5. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.
  6. Right-click on the shortcut and select "Copy".
  7. Navigate to the following folder: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo (replace "YourUsername" with your actual username).
  8. Right-click in the "SendTo" folder and select "Paste Shortcut". This will add the shortcut to the context menu.
  9. Now, whenever you right-click on a file or folder, you can select "Send To" and choose the shortcut you created to run the application with the specified parameters.
