How to add my menu item to the system menu of Win 95/NT ?
After installed winzip, we can find menu item "Add to ZIP" when right click a file in the file explorer or in an open dialog ...
Can I register my own menu item and procedure to the system menu like that?

I'm sorry, after try the code you gave me, I found it cannot solve my problem.
What I want is not only to make an association between a file extension with my program. I want add my menu item into the menu of Win95's system menu and call procedure in my EXE or DLL just WinZip did.
I'm looking forward to get more help.

add this to the code I gave you after the .bor stuff (after reg.closekey;)
reg.OpenKey('\txtfile\shel
true);
reg.WriteString('', 'say hello');
reg.OpenKey('\txtfile\shel
true);
reg.WriteString('',
'C:\Windows\notepad.exe %1');
reg.CloseKey;
this will add a menu item to the popup menu called say hello when you right click on a text file and then when you click on say hello it will open notepad...
just replace what you have to with your names and program names etc...
