    You have to extend the Windows shell. I've never done it but here's a good place to start.

    The only thing is it can't handle multiple selected files.

    Re: WinRAR Context Menu

    OK, question about the icon.

    When the context menu shows for the folder listbox, the icon appears fine. However, for the file listbox, the icon is blacked-out. Any reason for this?

    This doesn't work on shortcuts either.

    It is the same icon that is in the res file. I am not sure if I understand what you meant by color depth. It is fine in the folder listbox but not fine for the file listbox. It appears as a black image.

    Also, can you explain these two files that are also in the zip file too - IDataObj.tlb and IctxMenu.tlb? Did the owner create these files or does these files belong to Windows? I am assuming they are belong to Windows because I see them in a non-related site too.

    Thanks RobDog888 for the followup.

    about Context Menu Handlers:

    Re: WinRAR Context Menu

    I haven't checked that code. Does it create a dll ? Have you created the dll and tried registering it ?
