# Fix VS Code Context Menu for Windows

Easily restore the missing **"Open with VS Code"** option to the Windows 10 context menu for files, folders, desktop background, and empty areas inside directories or drives.

## Features

- Adds **"Open with VS Code"** to:

  - Files

  - Folders

  - Desktop background

  - Empty areas inside folders or drives

- Includes VS Code icon for better visibility

- No external dependencies — just run the script as **Administrator**

- Works on **Windows 10**

- Easy to remove by deleting registry keys

## Requirements

- **Windows 10**

- **Visual Studio Code** installed in the default **User** path:

If VS Code is installed in a different location, update the script path accordingly.

## Installation

1. Download files.

2. Right-click in the file **install_context_menu.bat** and select **Run as administrator**.

3. Wait for the script to finish — Windows Explorer will restart automatically.

4. Right-click anywhere (file, folder, desktop, or empty space) and you will see **Open with VS Code**.
