howto send shortcut on page in IE to app?

[Angelo]

I would like to create some kind of downloadmanager in c#.

When right-click on a link on a website I would like to have an extra option
with:
"Download with custom program"

I already found this key in the registry: (found it by looking at other
download accelerators)
HCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\

But how do I send the url to my application?
Any samples?

Thanks!
Angelo

Angelo,

Check out the section of the MSDN site titled "Adding Entries to the
Standard Context Menu", located at (watch for line wrap):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ls/context.asp

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm in the right direction, but I guess I don't understand everything on
that page.
I can't get the url sent to a program. For example:
I created a key called: "open with custom program" value = e:\test.bat

contents of test.bat:
echo %1

This doesn't work.
Perhaps I'm thinking too simple :-)

Thanks!
