How To Power Up Windows Explorler Right Click Menu.

The Windows Explorer's shortcut menu is very useful as it is. Did you know that there are some hidden shortcuts you can bring up by holding down another key while you right click?
To power up the right-click menu in Windows Vista simply hold down the Shift key then right-click on the file. Now you will see the additional options show up on the menu.

The Scan With option is only available when antivirus software is installed on your system.

Additional options:

Open as Read-Only: It opens the file as a read-only file.
Pin to Start Menu: Pins a shortcut in the top section of the Start menu.
Add to Quick Launch: Adds a shortcut to the file to the Quick Launch toolbar.
Copy as Path: Copies the file name and path to the Windows clipboard.
