I want to add a context menu entry with C++. I’ve been searching but all I can find is some jackass trying to sell me some BS program that does it for me which is not what I am looking for. I’m not looking for anything that uses .NET or Visual C++ either. I want the straight C++ way of doing this.

A decent tutorial, ignore the jackass title, is available here. This kind of shell programming requires COM, no escaping that. Trying to write COM code without MSVC support classes is character-building. But possible, as long as you know COM really well.
