Cascading context menu extentions
Hi people,

does anyone know how the script the addition of cascading context menu extentions?
Justins makensis.nsi show how to add normal ones, but not cascading ones... I've done some research on how Winzip does it, but I don't quite understand what i see in regedit...
Please help me out :)


I think it's not possible to add cascading context menus only by adding some registry keys. The way Winzip does it, is by implementing the interfaces IShellExtInit, IContextMenu and some other strange things.
You could learn more about writing shell extension at The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions at codeproject.com.

It's definitely not possible without DLLs and crap like that.
