If you ever wanted to add QuickView to the context menu of all file types, it may be a tedious task doing so using Windows Explorer's Options - File Type window. This tip shows how to do it in a couple of easy steps.

Open your registry and create a sub-key called QuickView under [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*].

Change the (Default) value of the new sub-key to equal '*'.

Close the registry and open an Explorer window. Right-click on any file and the QuickView command should now appear.

Note: You need to have QuickView installed on your PC. If not, Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and add it from the Accessories group in the Windows Setup tab.
