Download the `install-open-with-cursor.ps1` script from https://github.com/Puliczek/open-with-cursor-context-menu/raw/main/install-open-with-cursor.ps1 34 | 2. Right-click on the downloaded script and select "Run with PowerShell". 35 | 3. If prompted, allow the script to run with administrator privileges. 36 | 37 | The script will automatically add the "Open with Cursor" options to your context menus. ✅ 38 | 39 | Or choose cursorOpenFolder.bat (Thanks to @eatcosmos) (.reg method) 40 | 41 | 42 | ## 🔧 Troubleshooting 43 | 44 | If you see following tips: can not load ...., seee about_Execution_Policies 45 | 46 | You need to run command like 47 | 48 | ```bash 49 | Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser 50 | ``` 51 | 52 | It will allow you run ps1 scripts from github, after done, please run following command to reset it 53 | 54 | ```bash 55 | 56 | Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Default -Scope CurrentUser 57 | ``` 58 | 59 | If the context menu options don't appear immediately after running the installation script: 60 | 61 | Restart Windows Explorer using Terminal: 62 | 63 | - Press Win + X and select "Terminal (Admin)" 64 | - Run the following command: 65 | ```powershell 66 | Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force; Start-Process explorer 67 | ``` 68 | 69 | This command will close and restart Windows Explorer, which should refresh your context menu without requiring a full system restart. 🔄🖱️ 70 | 71 | ## 🗑️ Uninstallation 72 | 73 | 1. Download the `uninstall-open-with-cursor.ps1` script from https://github.com/Puliczek/open-with-cursor-context-menu/raw/main/uninstall-open-with-cursor.ps1 74 | 2. Right-click on the downloaded script and select "Run with PowerShell". 75 | 3. If prompted, allow the script to run with administrator privileges. 76 | 77 | The script will remove all "Open with Cursor" entries from your context menus. ❌ 78 | 79 | ## 🛠️ How It Works 80 | 81 | ### Installation Script 📥 82 | 83 | The `install-open-with-cursor.ps1` script: 84 | 85 | 1. Checks for administrator privileges and re-launches with elevated rights if necessary. 86 | 2. Locates the Cursor executable in the default installation directory. 87 | 3. Adds registry entries for the context menu options. 88 | 89 | ### Uninstallation Script 🗑️ 90 | 91 | The `uninstall-open-with-cursor.ps1` script: 92 | 93 | 1. Checks for administrator privileges and re-launches with elevated rights if necessary. 94 | 2. Removes the registry entries added by the installation script. 95 | 96 | ## 📝 Notes 97 | 98 | - Both scripts require administrator privileges to modify the registry. 99 | - The installation script assumes Cursor is installed in its default location. If you've installed Cursor in a different location, you may need to modify the script. 100 | 101 | ## 🤝 Contributing 102 | 103 | Feel free to fork this project and submit pull requests for any improvements or bug fixes. 104 | 105 | ## 📄 License 106 | 107 | This project is open source and available under the [MIT License](LICENSE). 📜 108 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /cursorOpenFolder.bat: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | @echo off 2 | setlocal enabledelayedexpansion 3 | 4 | :: Find Cursor.exe path 5 | set "cursor_path=" 6 | for %%i in (Cursor.exe) do set "cursor_path=%%~$PATH:i" 7 | if not defined cursor_path ( 8 | set "cursor_path=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Cursor\Cursor.exe" 9 | ) 10 | 11 | if not exist "!cursor_path!"
