You know how when you right click on something in explorer there are options for your antivirus, ZIP archive manager, etc?
I was wondering how one might add options for their own application to the context menu. After a failed search for the answer on the internet, I came here.
Thanks for your help.
(I doubt it’s relevant but I use C++ and Visual Studio 2010)
You need to create a shell extension handler, a context menu extension handler in your case. Covered well in this series of tutorials, part 1 talks about menus and how to install and debug these handlers.
