[Feature Request] Open In Cursor (Windows Context Menu)

[DoctorGoose]

Similar to Visual Studio Code, could Cursor include an option to add "Open in Cursor" for the Windows Context Menu during installation?

Create the cursor.reg file with the content below:

IMPORTANT: replace the <username> with your actual username!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Open files
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\Open with Cursor]
@="Edit with Cursor"
"Icon"="C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\cursor\\cursor.exe,0"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\Open with Cursor\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\cursor\\cursor.exe\" \"%1\""
; This will make it appear when you right click ON a folder
; The "Icon" line can be removed if you don't want the icon to appear
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\cursor]
@="Open Folder as Cursor Project"
"Icon"="C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\cursor\\cursor.exe,0"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\cursor\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\cursor\\cursor.exe\" \"%1\""
; This will make it appear when you right click INSIDE a folder
; The "Icon" line can be removed if you don't want the icon to appear
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\cursor]
@="Open Folder as Cursor Project"
"Icon"="C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\cursor\\cursor.exe,0"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\cursor\command
@="\"C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\cursor\\cursor.exe\" \"%V\""

Double-click it to create the registry entries.

If the options don't appear in the Explorer's context menu then you should restart your system.

Taken from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37306672/visual-studio-code-open-with-code-does-not-appear-after-right-clicking-a-folde - I just changed the paths and the names to the Cursor ones.

I built a powershell script for that:
