Q: Explorer command

Hi!

I need my application to interact with the windows explorer.

Ie. when selecting a directory, files etc, i want to rightclick, and select
an action from the dropdown menu.

Any idea where to get information on how to program this in c# and how to
add the right information in the registry in order for this to work?

regards
Martin

Martin,

do you want to add your own handler to the contextmenu of files and
folder? If so, please look at this sample:

What i want to do is to be able to mark som files in a folder or a whole
folder. and then right click, when the menu appears i want my menu item to
be there and when selected, the selected files would be in some kind of a
list that i can iterate trhu in my program

This example was in c++ which i am not familiar with.

But i will try to sort out what is happening :)
