I was wondering how I can edit my context menu
Windows 10 Context menu

First determine if you want to edit the menu for all users or just yours.
Open Regedit
(All Users) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
(Your User)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
If you want to add a menu item for all file types you'll want to add items under * for your user its HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*
For menu items for specific file types locate the .extension key
Then expand \shell and add a new key (the name is up to you) and it will show as the name in the menu or you can change the name by editing the default value under said key.
Under this key create a new key called command. Edit command's default value to be the command that gets executed when you select that menu item.
OR the easy way you can just google content menu editor and there are a number of utilities to add entries.
