Hi!

I know how to add a new item to the right-click menu of a folder, by adding new entry into "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell" key of the registry. But this seems not to work on FILE R-C menu. What reg key i should use to add an item to file R-C menu, not to folder R-C menu?

Thanks!

Thanks. I have gone through that earlier. But it creates a new menu item for a folder, NOT for a FILE. I wanna right-click a file and see my new menu entry -- for all files, registered with the system or not. How to do that?
