Sorry, it does not become easier (this is not a trivial task anyway). http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776881.aspx ("Creating Context Menu Handlers") is the most simple example that you can get.

I have a application that needs to be launch using right click menu ption on file or folder.
So I want to create shell context menu, like winzip.
Need I create a COM application to register shell menu?
You just tell me the procedure to do it?
Thanx in advance.

No, you need to create a COM server DLL as explained in the above articles. They explain everything in detail. The only requirement is to read them.

The easiest way is to launch a browser. Then, navigate to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776881.aspx ("Creating Context Menu Handlers"), http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/shellcontextmenu.aspx ("Use Shell ContextMenu in your applications") andhttp://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/shellextguide1.aspx ("The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions"). Read them. It is of absolutely no use if I copy their content and paste it here.
