[_|_|_]

Is there an example or doc that illustrates how to hook new
functions into the right-mouse-button's context menu?

This should be easy for someone here. Still haven't heard back:

Do you mean in your own app, or in another (maybe Windows Explorer, IE
etc)?

Oops...Yeah, I meant globally, in explorer. I'd like to spawn a
program to read tags from specific media files when R-clicked.
Usually involves shell/com or registry programming. I thought that
this would be implemented somewhere in C# now that .NET is coming of
age.

Ah ok. In that case:

Check this, msdn docs on creating context menu handlers:

You might need this

for handling the Win32 shell.

And, here is another post along the same lines using a simpler approach
(registry keys):
