right-click option

dfound
52
I created an encrypting software and decided to add a shell extension.(if thats the correct word)..

what i did was to add values to registry so that an option will show up when a file/folder is right-clicked..

I added values to
HKCR\*\shell\my_app\command ( i made a new key)

and to

HKCR\Directory\SHELL\my_app\command

and added values to those keys ...

But the problem is i can only right click and encrypt 1 file/folder (if a folder is
right-clicked, it adds all files in the folder to a list box) at a time.
If i try to right click more than one file/folder and choose encrypt from the
right-click menu , the computer stops to respond and i have to restart.

So can anyone please help me by tellling either of the following..plzz
1) a way to use right-click and choose multiple files
2) a way to hide the encrypt option from right-click menu if more that one file/folder is right-clicked...

I will greatly appreciate any help...plzz
Waiting for a reply...thnx

I'm not sure about how to hide the option, but I do know that in the Win32API there is a way to list all files in a directory, I'm pretty sure you could search it pretty quickly and use that when a folder is clicked on.
