Nice!
But does it work on WinXP?

Good question, will test it when I get home. I'm not sure, since the registry of XP is pretty different.

It doesn't work.

It's just as easy to do this manually, but as far as I can tell you're just adding a context menu handler for the desktop. This would be more useful if you could add it for specific filetypes including *.* (all filetypes), or directories, and other invokers including holding down shift (which prompts a context menu with more hidden options that you can configure via regedit too).

This is pretty nifty!

I can't use it because i'm mostly a linux guy and rarely ever modify registry keys on Windows, but it looks quite helpful

Not for everyone, there are plenty of people that don't know how to use the registry or don't know where to add things for the context menu.

Great tip though, thank you, I'm not sure what you mean exactly, if you could elaborate? I might add it too. First I'm going to add the things that are in the thread itself (ability to remove something from the menu, and read what is in the context menu).

^ As an example

You can also have items that show up only when you right click while holding shift. There's other UAC stuff too, and Icons, which you haven't added the functionality for which is another value. There's also submenu items that you can create from the registry for better organization.
