Solution 1

To add the context-menu entries for Namespace icons (My Computer, Recycle Bin etc), check these keys:

[HKCR\Folder\Shell\]
[HKCR\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\]
[HKCR\CLSID\{Namespace-CLSID}\shell\]
[HKCR\CLSID\{Namespace-CLSID}\ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers\]
Example - For My Computer the key would be:

[HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\]

More infos about shell extensions you can find here (together with several good examples):

Download will probably not work as they removed the examples from the last source. You will need to get an old changeset, as 60353.

Did you registered your dll correctly? I'm not sure how to do it in C++, but here is the link for starting understanding shellex and a working .NET 4.0 project (as for the managed code dll, it can be done only with FW4.0 and beyond) http://geekswithblogs.net/Jialiang/archive/2010/09/16/writing-windows-shell-extension-with-.net-4---part-1.aspx
