This app doesn't create a shortcut in context menu like Iobit Unistaller 😞 #FeatureRequest #331

@Klocman , in order to complete this one, I believe below should be the way if GUI is used.

  1. Get the full path of the executable from shortcut (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9414152/get-target-of-shortcut-folder)
  2. Pass the full path as an argument to BulkCrapUninstaller
  3. Show the MainWindow and search for all programs as usual
  4. Find the ApplicationUninstallerEntry object after everything is loaded (no visual change on MainWindow)
  5. Run the uninstaller
  6. Refresh the MainWindow.

If BCU-Console will be used;

  1. Get the full path of the executable from shortcut (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9414152/get-target-of-shortcut-folder)
  2. Pass the full path as an argument to BCU-console.exe
  3. Find the ApplicationUninstallerEntry object after everything is loaded
  4. Run the uninstaller
  5. Print on console and exit.

Either way, INNO Setup script should include adding registry entries, so it is the easier part. Which way would fit the BCUninstaller principles?

Old discussion #247

I think it would be a very useful feature as well. I think doing it the BCU-Console way would be the best.

The issue of having to run the whole app detection is still there, even with the CLI version.

Personally I don't see the use of this feature, but if someone makes a PR for it then I'll merge it. The menu entry would need to be added by the installer, and the CLI would need a new function for it.
