how to add windows type properties to our own files..?

Hi, all In windows if we right click any file we get a popup menu which contains something like "undo, cut, copy....etc" My question is suppose I am doing a project where my file extention is .har. now When a user right clicks the .har files I want to add one extra menu item. Hope I gave clear idea about my question. Any help will be of good use to me thanks harinath Harinath Reddy HOneywell Technology Solutions Lab, Bangalore, India-560076 harinath@vandemataram.com

As far as I know, that has to do with shell programming. Look at Mike Dunn's awesome articles about shell programming here on CP. A short explanation : Your file extension has an entry in the registry uder HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.har, and the associated value is your file names, like "Harinath Files". Then, under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Harinath Files\shell\command\open, you have your application path, this meaning that the shell conmand "open" will launch the appliaction associated to .har files. Now if you add some other commands, then they will be showed in the menu. Check the articles I meant, and you'll see. ~RaGE();
