Windows XP, I believe, introduced a very useful context menu option, called, "Open With" when someone clicks on an icon of a certain kind. My question is how to add my own program into that list. (See screenshot attached)

RegisterShellFileTypes may do it. I'm not sure though.
No, it doesn't do it. This function registers the document type so that I can open it with a double click, but that's not what I'm asking for.
So, just poking around in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/FileExts you'll find a list of extensions. Under some of them you'll find OpenWithList. You could try adding an entry there.
