Customize right click context menu in windows xp

windows-xp

How can I add a new item to right click menu for any file type and associate a action to this without using any third party tool. I hope it is possible using some registry hack..

Paste the following into a .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\MakeSomethingUp]
@="This text will appear in the context menu"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\MakeSomethingUp\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\MyApp\\MyApp.exe\" \"%1\""

Import that file into the Registry.

Does that do what you need?
