Good work I was looking for something like this years ago, and two have been released on these forums recently. Yashied did something similar here:

Why does it always say 'Status bar' in the bottom left?

Wanted to compare, but wrote that it required Vista

So it does... Yashieds loads them all in a list, so is slow to startup. But sometimes thats easier to look through all the extensions. It also shows you the default item on the list and lets you set it...

1. The menu items are sorted by name. My version allows specify the name of Shell, and item to assign a different name.

2. My version allows you to insert the same command at any chosen extension without copying commands. Choose the extension (avi, mpg, mkv, etc) and click Add.

3. Make group (BMP, JPG) (AVI, MPG), but look at the huge list of unpleasant. Make  ContMenuFiles.ini

For Win7 is required to make the submenu. Support the establishment of a submenu.

Thankyou AZJIO,

Your code is very nice to look at and very tidy. Your use of refreshing the icon cache is something that I may look into. I currently use a logoff script to delete %localappdata%iconcache.db to correct icons from recompile. Perhaps your function does it better.

MHz,

Changes the size to 1 pixel, and then restores the size. It causes updating of icons.
