Adding GACUtil on right click menu

Hi

I don't know whether this is trivial; but still I thought that it may
help someone
I change my projects so frequently that I can't update my setup scripts
every now and then. I've quite some files to push into GAC
so I decided to find a simpler of option of adding files to GAC
We can invoke gacutil easily on right click of dlls
Steps to be followed are
1. Opend registry
2. Go to HKEY_CLASSSES_ROOT->dllfile
3. Create following hierarchy of folders(keys)
dllfile->shell->gacutil->command
4. Set default value for command to path of gacutil followed by /i "%1"
so it will look like this
D:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\gacutil.exe /i "%1"
5. close the regedit

When u reopen win explorer u'll find an option called gacutil on right
click of dll files ; clicking that will send dll to GAC

Cheers

Vishy
