    Question Startmenu option

    How can I add an option to the menu that comes up when you right click the start button? (Like Winamp does.) I'm assuming it's a registry setting...

    Open "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu" and look at the contents of the folder

    Actually - you can right click on the shortcut, choose properties, general, location - and you know there the shortcut is located on your disk.

    PS. wrong forum to ask such a question

    No, you don't understand, I know that already! I mean the small menu that comes up when you RIGHT CLICK the startmenu. You know, where an Explore option is. Right clicking a menu option is like left clicking.

    The same menu comes up whenever you right click any file (Start Menu right click acts like you've right clicked a folder).

    A context menu option can be added manually or via the registry. The class for folders is "Folder".

    Sure, but that doesn't awnser my question.

    EDIT:

    Thanks anonytmouse, that is what I was looking for.
