Programmaticall y adding item to explorers 'folder' context menu

I would like to programmaticall y (from VB.NET or C#), manage items in
the windows explorer 'folder' context menu (right click menu). I need
an entry to be able to pass the folder path to my application. If I
can configure this using the .NET framework then that would be ideal,
using Win32 a close second. Modifying the registry would be ok but not
sure how safe this would be on future versions of windows. Any help
much appreciated.

How can I use the designer to add a context menu to a class which inherits from a control, e.g. treeview, without adding the context menu to a form? For example, to add a context menu with "Select All" and "Clear Selection" to a checked list box? Thanks, Aaron Queenan.

I am trying to programmatically change the text of a menu item in a submenu of context menu. The menu item starts off as "Play" and I later execute this.menuItem1.Text = "Stop"; I can confirm with the debugger that the field value changes as expected yet this is not actually reflected in the menu itself. Any ideas? Mike

I'm working on a plotting control. The plotting control will have a context menu with basic commands for "scaling", "zooming", etc. Is there a way that, from the parent form, I can add more commands to the control's context menu? I'm envisioning a case where the control has a set of context menu items, and the parent form also has a set of context menu items. Thanks.

But I can't find how to add a complex menu item, that is, a menu item that has a submenu, or possibly a sub-submenu. I also cannot figure out how to tell windows just where in the menu the new menu item should appear, or how to add a new separator line to setoff the new menu...
