Programmatically adding item to explorers 'folder' context menu

I would like to programmatically (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.
