So I have written a little executable that generates a pdf from a *.tsv file and wanted to add a shortcut to the shell of that specific file type.

I already did this with pdf files a while ago and it worked perfectly fine. Followed this tutorial: Add menu item to windows context menu only for specific filetype

This time however the entry just will not show up.

I went to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tsv and found the Default entry “tsv_auto_file”

So I created a command key in the respective entry Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tsv_auto_file\shell\PDF_that\command

“C:\Shellextentions\packlist\PDF_packlist.exe” "%1"

But nothing shows up so I did the same under CURRENT_USERS but no change either.

What am I Missing?

Somehow fixed the issue it with changing the default APP (Excel) to Wordpad and back to Excel again. I have no idea why it's working now.
