Internet Explorer 11 Context Menu Chooser Application Version 3

This is an application that allows you to pick and choose which of the many context menu add-ons you would like enabled in your browser. Internet Explorer does not support nested context menus so this I wrote this application to make it easy to enable and disable different menu items you may want to use (instead of separate scripts). The context menu items are broke up into 8 groups: Share-it, Analyze-it, Analyze-it-Scritch, Analyze-it-Viewdns, Plurk-it, Google-it, Look-it-up, and IE-Utility. The IE-Utility menu items are usually located in the Tools menu in the menubar on top which isn’t shown by default (just hit the Alt key and it will pop open temporarily).

There are also a couple of registry tweaks that I included in this application. One that adjusts the size of the thumbnails (on hover) of open applications on the taskbar. And another to give you more New Tab entries. There is also a reset button for the New Tab items you removed and want back. The New Tab functionality is generated automatically based on your browsing (you don’t get actual Speed Dial functionality – Internet Explorer chooses everything you see)

There are a few changes in this new version that should be mentioned. The user interface has changed, the code was ported to be compiled, and there is now a version check that will help keep the application current.

In this version the user interface has been changed to be more convenient. I traded the scripted multi-screen interface for a more basic checkbox based dialog written using WinForms. Its just easier to use having everything in front of you on one dialog while making choices.

The code was ported from jscript/hta to nice modern Visual Basic 14. This should improve application start up time as well as use less memory while running. This compiled version of the application will perform better overall.

The scripting run time has a large overhead and is not maintained by Microsoft as other technologies are. For instance, when scripting a hypertext application the jscript has to target Internet Explorer 4/5 by default. By changing properties on the hta you can target IE8. I would have considered keeping the application scripted if Microsoft ported the hypertext application system to use the Edge or Internet Explorer 11 runtime.

Internet Explorer 11 Context Menu Chooser Application Version Check

There is now a version check enabled in the application. This application uses many external tools and features that are completely out of my control. As such, I’ve founds the application needs to be updated more often than other projects I’ve coded. In an effort to keep the application current I enabled a version check that checks weekly in the background that will somewhat automate the process of upgrading. By pressing the “Install new version” button the application will download the updated application in the background (no browser needed) to the Temp folder and start the installer.

The installer has also been tweaked to automatically start the old version uninstaller application (if it detects one) instead of the “do or die” message box that used to pop up. As there is a dependency on .NET 4.5, the installer will detect and start the web installer for the .NET framework as needed (this should only happen in Windows 7 without .NET 4.5).

Why write and maintain this application if Edge is the newest thing? Because desktop users will still prefer Internet Explorer 11 over Edge. Because I can’t see Microsoft having the only browser not running plug-ins. Because its still included in the operating system.

Where is it? Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is located inside the Windows Accessories folder on the Windows 10 Start Menu. Or you could just click on the symbol in the upper left corner of my application.

IE11 Menu Addons – New Version – 1 – Happy New Year!

New Internet Explorer 11 Menus Version

This release basically fixes a few bugs and adds Google Music Search to the menu. I’ll be using whole numbers from now on on these installers (just makes things easier). I had to remove tumblr from the menu as their format changed (no more sharing with a GET request). Fixed the Fetch and Guess tools to be compliant with their new versions – so they should work properly. The spaces in query bug in Google Open Storage search was fixed – so multi word queries work properly.

Firefox Extension – Google-Music-Search v0.2

Firefox Google-Music-Search

Firefox Google-Music-Search running on Crunchbang Linux

Google Music Search provides a simple way to search for music and files on google.com. There are two different types of queries to run: one to search for music files, and one to search for anything else stored in open indexed storage. Both open a tab in the browser and display search results from google.com. Firefox Google Music Search extension is based the Chrome Google Music Search and Chrome Open Storage Search extensions.

            To search for music files simply provide a band or artist name press the Music Search Button. To search for other filetypes; you must first specify the filetypes you are looking for. Filetypes can be ORed together using the pipe (|) character. After the filetypes you must enter a space. Anything before the first space in the query is considered the filetype(s). Then enter the query term for the file(s) you are searching for and press the Open Storage Search button.

Install (you must trust my code)

If you downloaded an extension from somewhere other than Google, Chrome will not let you install it on the fly. You have to go to the browser menu and choose Tools->Extensions to open up the Extensions tab. Then drag the extension from wherever it is on the file-system to the open Extensions page. This should start the install process. If you ever feel funny about a packed extension you can unzip them to inspect the code (if you don’t have 7zip you’ll have to change the file extension to .zip – do it on a copy).
