There is no generic mechanism that would allow you to extend any arbitrary
Windows application with your own controls. Many applications provide some
kind of extensibility, and Windows Explorer is one of them - try searching
Google for "c# shell extension" or something similar and you should come
up with a lot of helpful content.

The problem remains that for every other application you want to extend
you'll have to find out whether the developers of that application have
provided extensibility interfaces, and if so, how they work.
