Windows Context menu shell icon
registry, windows, windows-explorer
Solution
Windows 7 added support for icons (and submenus) for static (registry) verbs, add a REG_SZ value named "Icon" under HKCR\%ProgID%\shell\%verb%
On <= Vista you need a shell extension that implements IContextMenu, see this blog entry for information about which icon/bitmap formats you can use...
Problem
I have created a new Windows shell context menu item using registry and keys ``` HKLM\Software\Classes\Folder\shell\appname HKLM\Software\Classes\Folder\shell\appname\command ``` now I want to add an icon to this command. How I do that?
