Internet Explorer and contextual menu

I need to add in Internet Explorer an option in standard contextual menu; when the user

right-clicks a link in a navigable document, a program start. Did anybody already made it?

What interfaces I have to implement, or can I use BHO?

Thanx,

I saw this MSDN example, but it is limiting. I have to write a JavaScript snippet, but I can't start an exe from inside. If you know how to do this, please tell me. I am more interested in a COM /BHO solution.

Thank you for your help,

Hi,
U say
"I have to write a JavaScript snippet, but I can't start
an exe from inside"
I think u should write a COM object.U create this object
use JavaScript.This COM do the thing u want,such as run a program.

follow the step:
1.make your COM object,it should do the thing u want
2.when install your program,register the COM & add the
additional items to the IE context menus.
jkr has told u how to.
3.write the html page with javascript.it should be install
with your main program and the additional item at IE
context menus should point to it.

that's all.
U know,many program do it like this.U can also get the IE Document Objects to do some cool things.
