Adding to the Explorer right-click menu

[Thief_]

I'd like to explorer how to add my own menu items to the Explorer
right-click menu. That is, if a user, say, right-clicks a txt file, I want
to launch MY application to process that file.

Are there any tutorials on how to do this in VB.Net?

I've been looking into this myself and it looks like it is just a matter of
added a few lines to the registery. Here's a nice website I found. Best of
luck!

And if you want more control and features like ownerdraw, you must write a
shell extension handler which implements IContextMenu interface.
