	Adding to the Right-Click Menu 

	==============================

	I've seen this question a few times 
	in the last couple of weeks, so here ya go! 

	You may be wondering how some applications 
	add their icon to the context menu provided 
	when you right click a file. Here's one approach 
	that will display a custom application you'd like 
	to add, but only when there isn't already an 
	application associated with the file. 
	For instance, if you right-click on a Word document, 
	Windows will likely know what this is already, and 
	not display your new custom entry. It will show up 
	on the context menu for an unrecognized file type, 
	however. First, navigate to the following registry 
	location: 

		HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Unknown \ Shell 

	1.	Right-click on the Shell subkey and choose 
		New - Key. This will add a new subkey below 
		the Shell.

	2.	Give the new subkey the name of the application 
		as you'd like it displayed on the context menu. 

	3.	Next, you'll need to create another new subkey 
		under your newly created application subkey called 
		command.

	4.	There will be a Default value automatically created. 

	5.	Double click this value and enter the full path of 
		the application's executable file, but append a %1 
		to the end (i.e. c:\winnt\notepad.exe %1).

	6.	Close the registry editor, then right-click on an 
		unrecognized file type. You should see your new entry.
