Adding your own items to the Windows xp context menu

Adding an entry to a context menu is very simple.My favorite item to add to the
context menus is a “Send Attached to Message” entry. This entry in my context menu grew out of a need to find a better way to e-mail files. I send a lot of messages every day.

Wanna learn HOW-TO do IT::-
1. First, open up a copy of My Computer by clicking the icon on the desktop or Start panel.
2. Click the Tools menu bar item and select Folder Options.
3. Then, click the File Types tab to expose all of the different file types on your computer.
4. Because I usually send Word documents, I scrolled down the list of file types and
selected the .doc file extension. Pick any other file extension for which you would like to add an entry.
5. Then, once you have the entry selected, click the Advanced button to bring up the Edit File type window.
6. Click the New button to add an entry.
7. In the Action box, type in the name that you want to appear on the menu. I typed in Send Attached to Message.
8. Then, in the Application Used to Perform Action box, you will want to specify the application and any switches that you want to use for this new entry. Click the Browse button to easily browse to an executable. I navigated until I found OUTLOOK.EXE inside the OFFICE folder.
9. When you click OK, the path to the executable will fill the box. Now you will want to add any application flags at the end of the line.To tell Outlook to create a new message and attach a file to it, I had to add /a- after the path, followed by %L. The %L is a system variable that holds the name of the file that you are right-clicking.When I was finished, my box looked like the following (including the quotes): “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE\OUTLOOK.EXE” /a “%L”.
10. When you are finished editing your new entry, click OK to save it.
