How to insert things in context menu

Open your Registry Editor by start>run and type regedit.. then, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\ .

Create a new key by right clicking it. And rename it for whatever you want for example notepad. On the right hand side, double click the default and put on the value, what you want it to appear, example "open with notepad".

And then create new key under the previous key and name it command. Change tha default value to the link to your file for eg: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Notepad.exe and dont forget to add %1 at the end to ensure this is appear only on the supported file only. So it becomes C:\WINDOWS\System32\Notepad.exe %1.
