deploy to context menu

Hi

I have written an application that I would like to deploy to the context
menu in xp. That is the menu that appears when you press the secondary
windows button (generally between the alt and ctrl buttons on the right side
of the space bar - or press shift +F10).

How do I specify deployment to that menu rather than to the desktop or
program menu?

Thanks

Hi Doug,

You don't deploy an application to the program menu or the desktop. You
deploy the application to the computer, and can add shortcuts to launch the
application to the program menu or desktop (among others). To add a command
to your application to the system's context menu, you would add one or more
registry sub-keys. Here is a reference to the subject on MSDN:
