I would like to add some more things!

For adding shortcuts in all file context menu use the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell

For adding shortcuts in all drives context menu use the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\Shell

And for special folders like My Computer, use their CLSIDs. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID. Create subkeys, shell and command, and repeat the above process. ie: -

1) Create a new key here with whatever name u want (Name doesnt matter).
2) In its "default" value type in the name which u want to be displayed.
3) Now create a new key in the key which we created in step "1" and name it as "command".
4) In the dfault value type the path of the program.


Find the CLSIDs of some folders here
