Add contextual menu to .config files

Question

I'm currently trying to add a contextual menu (right click menu) on a specific extension : .config

I managed to add a contextual menu to all files, unknown files, .jpg, and every other extension I've tried, except for .config, and I don't know why.

I even tried to use some external tools to do it. These tools worked for everything I tried, except .config again.

The .config register key has a master file type named config_auto_file.

I tried to create a \shell\My_command\command key on each of them (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.config and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\config_auto_file) with no success. I'm now out of ideas.

An easy, similar test would be .jpg, which has a master file type too (jpegfile). And it works on this one while doing the exact same thing.

I'm on windows 7 and windows 10.

Thanks for your time on this.

I managed to do it thanks to another post on stackoverflow.

The "AppliesTo" on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT* worked for me.
