This Sample program shows how to add Context Menu Shell Extensions to Windows for specific file types that you specify. When you right click on a .zip file, have you noticed that there is a menu item to Load WinZip. Well, you can write your own menu extensions for file types in windows too! This is Advanced code, but there is a good ReadMe.txt file that explains what you need to know to use and modify the code for your purposes.
