How to Add "Scan with Windows Defender" to the Context Menu in Windows 8 Feb 11th 2013, 11:00 Windows Defender replaces Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 8, but it does not include the ability to quickly right-click folders and scan them. However, you can add this option yourself with a quick registry hack. This trick adds a "Scan with Windows Defender" option to the context menu that appears when you right-click a folder. It works similarly to the "Scan with Microsoft Security Essentials" option on previous versions of Windows. Unfortunately, there is no command that launches Windows Defender in graphical mode and initiates a scan, so we will have to launch Windows Defender in a Command Prompt window.
