Adding menu + items in context menu?


Recommended Posts

Hello

I'd like to add a menu and items in Windows Explorer's context menu à la 7zip.

I know Fast Explorer can do this, but I just realized that it does this by somehow lurking in the background and adding the items dynamically from an INI file.

If possible, I'd like to build a menu + items statically, without depending on an external tool so that I can replicate this on any host by just exporting data into a .REG file.

Does someone know if this is doable, or does it require writing a COM DLL like 7-zip seems to do?

FWIW, this must work on XP, Vista, and W7.

Thank you.

Lots of reg tweaks for Windows 7 provied here. A few show as malware by some scanners (all are safe in competent hands); but if I disable UAC, Widows Security Center or the like and run a virus/malware scan this will show as infected files.

Maybe it will get you started on your mission.... :)
