Adds an "Open with Antigravity IDE" option to the Windows right-click menu for files, folders, and folder backgrounds — so you can open anything directly in Google Antigravity IDE.
A recent Antigravity update renamed the install folder from
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Antigravity\ to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Antigravity IDE\,
which broke the old registry tweaks. The executable is still named
Antigravity IDE.exe — only its parent folder changed. These files target the
current path:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Antigravity IDE\Antigravity IDE.exe
| File | What it does |
|---|---|
install-open-with-antigravity-ide.reg |
Adds the "Open with Antigravity IDE" right-click entry. |
uninstall-open-with-antigravity-ide.reg |
Removes the entry. |
All keys live under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, so no administrator rights are needed and no
reboot is required.
- Double-click
install-open-with-antigravity-ide.regand confirm the prompt. - Right-click any file or folder — Open with Antigravity IDE now appears.
No editing needed. The paths use the %LOCALAPPDATA% variable, which Windows expands
to each user's own C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local folder — so the same file works on
any account without changes. (This is why the values are stored as REG_EXPAND_SZ,
written in the .reg as hex(2): lines — a plain string would not expand the
variable.)
System-wide installs: if you installed Antigravity IDE to
C:\Program Files\Google\Antigravity\instead of the default per-user location,%LOCALAPPDATA%won't match. In that case edit the paths to point there, or use a script-based installer that auto-detects the executable.
Double-click uninstall-open-with-antigravity-ide.reg and confirm. The right-click
entry is removed immediately.
Note: the uninstall file contains no executable path — it only deletes the registry keys the installer created (the
-prefix on each key means "delete this key"). It works as long as its key name matches the installer's, which it does (Antigravity).
The installer writes a shell verb named Antigravity to three locations so the
entry shows up everywhere:
Software\Classes\*\shell\Antigravity— on individual files (%1= the file)Software\Classes\Directory\shell\Antigravity— on folders (%V= the folder)Software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\Antigravity— on empty space inside a folder (%V= the current folder)
Each verb's command subkey launches Antigravity IDE.exe with the selected path,
and the Icon value gives the menu item the app's icon.
