    It depends upon what you want to add. If you want to add a Open or Print option this is a matter of doing a file association for your file type. If you want to do something more elaborate, like WinZip does (Extract to..., Add Files To Zip...) that requires you to write a DLL called context menu handler, also known as a Shell Extention. There are several types of Shell Extentions.

    If you have the MSDN CD search on 'context menu handler' or 'Shell Extention' for a better explanation of what they are and how to create them.
