Adding application to Windows Context Menu

Hi guys

How do i programatically add an application to the Windows Context Menu (so that it appears upon right-clicking files)

What you're looking for is a shell extension. This thread has some info, but it isn't exactly what you want, because it is for an ie popup menu. However it should provide some insights.

I'd also poke around in the registry and see what's there.

Thanks for your reply WizBang

In the meantime I *did* poke around in the registry, and also found a way around to my problem. BUT, my application appears in the context menu only when i right-click on a folder, and not when I right-click on a file. That still leaves my problem unsolved :(

Any suggestions guys ??
