It is actually as simple as adding a registry entry. I don't have my curent code for this ner me at the moment, so I can't give a simple example.

I have created an encryption program and I am now trying to polish it off. I want to add on the context menu a menu to decrpty file (depending on extension) and one to encrypt file (if not an encrypted file).

I have worked out how to add to the context menu for already encrypted files but not normal files AND how do I pass arguments to my program to maximise the program from the taksbar and pass the name of the file to my application so that it appears in the correct text box??

Any examples would be very useful if no one can help me specifically.

Thanks Simon

Sorry - wrong example. I don't know if I have an example of that, but I'm looking for the same thing. If I find it, I'll post it.

nope it was kind of the right example it has got me started in adding to the context menu and opening my application....but not the passing argument...if I find it first I'll post it too...good luck
