Open App at right click on the file
Hi all,
I'd like to launch my app with as argument the file right clicked, just like when you right click on a NSIS file and you get "Compile NSIS script" on the menu.

Is there a shortcut to add somewhere?
I think it's something different than using $SENDTO.

thanks in advance for any help

Bye

And what if I want to add my app to any file?
I mean like some antiviruses do, letting the user scan any single file by right clicking on it.

thanks again

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\* or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects but most antivirus and other apps that add menus to everything normally use a shell exstension (You must write a COM dll, not just a registry entry)
