How to add objects to context menu in Windows Explorer

P

Peabody

Under 98SE, I added items such as "Open in Notepad" to the context
menu in Windows Explorer. Here are the registry entries for
Notepad:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open in Notepad]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open in Notepad\command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE %1"

I would like to do the same under XP MCE2005. But somehow I suspect
things may be more complicated under XP. Can anyone point me to an
explanation of how this can be done properly under XP?
