I would like the context menu in explorer to simply show my app icon
and "Open with MyCooolApp". Are there any recommendations for a shell
extension code base? I am trying to look for one that is easily
changed and compiled and will run as a unique extension to my app.
I would start here:

thanks for the link but I think you may have misunderstood me. I know how to
associate a file extension with my
app. that is fairly starightforward. instead my challenge here is to
implement a shell extension with a context menu
that one shows the application icon and two will execute my app when
selected. to see what i mean just clikc here

The icon shows in the context menu and that is only done through a custom
DLL.
