I have been doing a Context Menu Handler these days. The first thing I would do is to check the "Shell Programming"-Section of CP. I used Michael Dunn's Excellent Tutorials to create my own handler. I hit some obstacles, though: Have the most recent Platform SDK installed. Make the proper Registry Entries. Register your COM-DLL using "regsvr32 path\filename.ext" Restart your Explorer (Completely. On Win2000 and WinXP you can do that by logging of and back on again.) Make sure your CLSID is listed in the APPROVED section of the registry, should you not have admin privileges. Check M. Dunns Tutorials on how to do that. This is about all the advice I can give.
