See Delphi Magazine, Issue 15, Nov 96, p 44. (Everybody should get a copy of
their back-catalogue on CD!). I'm afraid it looks rather too complicated to
summarize.
Perhaps a search on the Delphi Super page for "Shell Extension" or "context
menu" might bring up something helpful?
Cheers,

Subject: [DUG]: Putting an application on the explorer shortcut menu
I have an application for entering metadata about data objects into a
central
catalogue. What I would like to be do is deploy so people could select file
or
files in explorer, right-click and up comes my application with file names,
ownership, location, guess at type etc. all filled in. WinZip is only
example
I have of an application that does this. Obviously something to do with
ShellEx registry key. Does anyone know details of how to achieve this,
pointer to articles etc???
