Adding a new option to Explorer context menu for ALL file types

Hi,

Is there a way of adding an option to the right-click context menu of
explorer that shows up for _every_ filetype? I'd like to use Vern
Buerg's LIST (yes, the venerable old DOS program) as a general purpose
fileviewer, but without having to add it to every possible extension,
which would take eons to do.

I'm currently using it as one of the Send To options, but that
requires two clicks, one to many.

Thanks,

Robert

Click to expand...

To add the item to context-menu of all files, add it to :
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\

To add to Folders:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\

To add to Folders + All Files(create the shell key if it doesn't exist):
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell



Good Luck, Ayush.
