Running an application on startup[^]. As far as I know, msconfig reads those registry keys, so it should appear

Hi, there are many ways to do this, and it depends on the intelligence you need behind this. If all you need is a fixed menu item (fixed text, fixed command line to execute) for files, folders or files+folders then it takes two registry entries: // create registry entries to get an entry in the Explorer context menu for all files and folders: // (replace AllFilesystemObjects by * for files not folders) // HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\Shell\SomeNameYouChoose.ContextMenu: // (Default) Open in my program // HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\Shell\SomeNameYouChoose.ContextMenu\Command: // (Default) path_to_my_exe "%1" If you need some code to run before the context menu appears (because you need to compute the right menu item text, etc) then it gets more complex. :)
