			With the release of Windows 7, the ability to change the right click functionality got more difficult. This can be done by editing the Windows Registry (and can be considered for advanced Windows users, the method is outlined on the TUFLOW forums [http://www.tuflow.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=764 here].<br>

			== FileMenu Tools Method==
			The following method is much much easier, but involves a free utility called '''FileMenu Tools''' the is available for download [http://download.cnet.com/FileMenu-Tools/3000-2094_4-10810545.html here] <nowiki> Link path: http://download.cnet.com/FileMenu-Tools/3000-2094_4-10810545.html</nowiki>. This tool can also be configured for post-processing of TUFLOW output files.
			=== Configuring FileMenu Tools ===
			To use this program to run TUFLOW from a right click window, follow the steps below:<br>
			# Download and install '''FileMenu Tools''' using the link provided above
			# Open the ''Configure FileMenu Tools'' interface (this can be accessed from the Windows Start Menu)
			# Under ''Actions'' select ''Add Command''
			# Highlight the newly created item and select ''Properties'' from the toolbar
			# Enter the desired menu text under ''Menu Text'', I have used '''Run TUFLOW 2010-10-iSP-w64'' (this tells me I am starting the Single Precision (iSP), 64 bit (w64) version of the 2010-10 release of TUFLOW
			# Enter a ''Description''
			# Under ''Element Types'', set ''Files'' to '''Yes'''
			# Under ''Element Types'', set ''Extensions'' to '''tcf''' (the Run TUFLOW option will only be available for .tcf files)
			# Under ''Element Types'', set both ''Folders'' and ''Drives'' to '''No'''
			# Under ''Program Properties'' set the ''Program'' to the full path to the TUFLOW executable on your system. For my machine this is: C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2010-10\w64\TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe
			# Under ''Program Properties'' set the ''Arguments'' field to '''%FILENAMES%'''
			# Select Apply and exit the configuration.
			The completed '''FileMenu Tools''' configuration page is shown in the image below.<br>
			[[File:FileMenu Tools Configure.png\|frame\|none\|File Menu Tool Configuration Page]]

			=== Running TUFLOW ===
			The FileMenu Tool should now be configured. To run TUFLOW navigate to a TUFLOW Control File (.tcf) and right click on the file. In the menu dialogue that appears, select ''FileMenu Tools >> Run TUFLOW''. This is shown in the image below.<br>

			== Conclusion ==
			TUFLOW has been configured to run by right clicking on a TUFLOW control file using ''FileMenu Tools''.
