    Smile Adding a new item to FILE right-click menu

    Hi!

    I know how to add a new item to the right-click menu of a folder, by adding new entry into "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell" key of the registry. But this seems not to work on FILE R-C menu. What reg key i should use to add an item to file R-C menu, not to folder R-C menu?

    Thanks!

    I feel like this question should be moved to Windows Programming.
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

    You might program in C#, but this question is 100% about the Windows registry.
