How to Create Toolbar item on menu when you right click on the desktop

[Stan Kasper]

Greetings,

I would like to set up a menu item that would appear in the list when
I right click on the desktop similar to a toolbar that you can create
on the taskbar.

Any ideas on how to specify a directory/subdirectory of shortcuts
as a menu item on the menu that appears when you right click
anywhere on the desktop?


Thanks,

Stan

Sure Stan,

Add it to either Directory or Folder:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
