Archive: Right click context menu and file extension


Right click context menu and file extension
Hi,

I'm adding a menu option to a certain file extension, like this:
WriteRegStr HKCR "Collada\shell\Export to Madlix\command" "" '"$INSTDIR\${PRODUCT_NAME\Exporter.exe" "%1"'

which works great, when the user right clicks on a Collada-file "Export to Madlix" is visible.

However, I would like to have an icon next to the text as well, but I can't seem to find any info on how to achieve this.

Any regedit-haxxors out there? ;)


I guess reviewing how others have done that (winrar for instance) should be an easy guide.


You can't do that with a simple registry string, you need to write a shell exstension that implements IContextMenu

Thank you for your reply. That made things clearer.
