In your second screenshot (Control Panel > System and Security), could this be added to the "Administrative Tools" group instead of making a new line item for just this?

Even better, could you write a tutorial on how to do this? What do these registry entries mean (some are obvious, such as DefaultIcon and shell\open\command, but some are totally cryptic), and how do you come up with the right CLSID values?

I'm afraid "Administrative Tools" is an applet instead of a category.

These are both in the "System and Security" category.

This wouldn't be something easily explained on how to do. I prefer to just create a tutorial if someone sends a request to me instead.

Thanks. That M$ article explains at least some of it. Can you suggest any other recommended reading on the subject?

I don't know off the top of my head, but you can edit the .reg file to help get more of an idea.

Yet another useful tutorial

Bye the time I'm finished both my context menu and control panel will be filled with your tutorials

Probably should rename my registry the Brink registry
