How can I add options to context menu

Hi everyone! I wanted to ask you if it was possible to modify (add) direct options without having to go to "open with". To be clear, where is the copilot option ... Thank

    Of course. You can add programs directly to the context menu, often by modifying the Windows Registry.

    The easiest and safest method is to use a free, trusted program like "NanaZip" (a modern fork of 7-Zip), "Open-Shell Menu", or a dedicated context menu editor like "ContextMenuManager". These tools provide a simple interface to add, remove, and manage context menu items without manually editing the registry yourself.

    For the specific "Open with Copilot" option, this is currently a feature Microsoft is testing and cannot be manually added through standard methods.
