Hi,
I would like to write a C# .NET program that will do some transformations to selected images. After I select several images on my desktop (or any other windows folder) and right click them, I would like to see my program in the appeared menu. How can I insert my program to this menu, and execute it when this option is clicked ? I would appreciate a little code example.
Thanks in advance !

Here's a starting point: Add a context menu to the Windows Explorer[^]

And this should teach you how to do specific file types: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-open-with-notepad-to-the-context-menu-for-all-files/[^]
It actually uses all file types in the example but figuring out how to do one instead of all shouldn't be that hard once you've got regedit open.
