How get icon on context menu

[Will]

Some of my context menu entries have an icon beside them.

What do \i need to do to modify the registry in order to put an icon
beside some of the other entries?

 

[David Candy]

You can't. Those entries you see are done by programs not by the registry..

How can I create such an icons so that my own command in the context
menu has my own icon beside it?

Will,

The icon comes from within the DLL file (the context-menu handler).
Right-click commands that you create in the File Types dialog will not have
the icons near them. If you're a programmer, the following links may help
