Context Menu Registry Keys

[MS]

Where are the registry keys that govern the context menu for right-clicking
on different file types in Windows Explorer?

Also, for those that pop-up when you right click on a folder, or in empty
space within a folder?

See the following website for instructions on working with the context menus.

It's a good program, but when I first looked at it I thought it was
just a viewer. You can add, change, and delete entries, but all those
operations are under the File menu instead of the Edit menu.
