Add a Duplicate right click option to the right-click context menu on your windows computer to quickly copy and paste the selected files.

Version 2.0 Update: Folder duplication is now supported.

The script should be extracted to a folder to your system and then a registry entry should be added in order to appear on each file right click. The zip contains four files:

1. The actual powershell script which is used to Duplicate the files Duplicate_script.ps1.
2. The icon which should be placed on the same folder with the ps file duplicate.ico
3. A registry merge file that helps add the necessary entries to the registry Duplicate.reg
4. A setup information file (inf) to automate the installation proccess install.inf

There are three ways to setup this to your computer:

A. Auto configuration

1. Download the latest release package https://github.com/limbo666/Duplicate_RightClick/releases.
2. Extract the files to a temporary folder and open your file explorer to this folder
3. Right-click the install.inf file and select Install from the context menu

   Test by right-clicking a file and see if the "Duplicate" menu item is there and functioning.

B. Semi auto configuration (in case you want to use C:\Scripts\Duplicate_Menu\ for your script )

1. Download the release package https://github.com/limbo666/Duplicate_RightClick/releases.
2. Extract the files to C:\Scripts\Duplicate_Menu\
3. Double click the Duplicate.reg and accept the megre dialog when prompted

   INFO: In semi auto configuration the script and icon should be extracted to a specific folder which is C:\Scripts\Duplicate_Menu\ and then run the reg file which points to this path

   Test by right-clicking a file and see if the "Duplicate" menu item is there and functioning.

C. Manual configuration (in case you want to use your own path)

1. Download the release package https://github.com/limbo666/Duplicate_RightClick/releases.
2. Extract the files to a folder of your choice.
3. Open the Registry Editor (Win + R, type regedit, press Enter)
   • Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell.
   • Right-click on the shell key, select New > Key, and name it Duplicate.
   • Right-click the newly created Duplicate key, select New > Key, and name it command.
   • Select the command key, double-click the Default entry on the right, and enter the following line by replacing the path with your script location:

     powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Toolz\Duplicate_Menu\Duplicate_script.ps1" "%1"

   • Right-click on Duplicate shell key, select New > String Value, and name it Icon
   • Double-click on the Icon entry, and set its value to the path of your icon file. For example: C:\Toolz\Duplicate_Menu\Duplicate.ico

     Test by right-clicking a file and see if the "Duplicate" menu item is there and functioning.
