Hello guys,
Have the best days.

There is something I'm curious about, I'm talking about win10, when you right click anywhere on the pc, a menu opens and there is an additional section in it, we can create a new folder here or add a new word file, everything is normal until here.
I want to add "sldprt" to the new section. So I want to do this. Right click/New/sldprt in any folder on pc. (Add SW part)

Is this possible?

I don't know, did I explain what I wanted correctly?

I added the sw logos at the bottom of the picture with paint.

1. Open RegsitryEditor
2. Go to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.SLDPRT\SldPart.Document\ShellNew
3. Right click ShellNew and select New...String Value and name it FileName
4. You need a 'template' file for Windows to copy. So, create a new part document in SOLIDWORKS and save it somehere
5. Double click FileName in the registry editor and enter the path to your saved file.

You should end up with something like this:

Now when you right click in Explorer, 'New....SOLIDWORKS Part Document' should appear:
