    How exactly did you add that context menu item? You need to pass the file name somewhere which is usually done by putting %1 into the command line to be executed.

    So if the command you’re currently executing is

    "C:\Program Files\MyCoolProgram\mcp.exe"
    

    it should be

    "C:\Program Files\MyCoolProgram\mcp.exe" %1
