Would have been nice if it was something as simple as:

- Shell
|- Ominae
|- command
|- command_2
|- Etc.....

Done in the registry like I do the single commands. A well, c'est la
vie. Thanks for giving me a focus for finding my answers.

Unless I'm missing something what you suggested will only allow me to
add a single command to the right-click menu. Or I should say, a
single command at a time. What I want to do is create an entire
grouping of functions to the right-click menu.

I think I could explain this better with a quick and gritty ASCII
example:

Right-Click Menu:
-------------------------
| Open |
| Explore |
| Search... |
--------------------------
|Send To -> | -> --------------------
------------------------- | Floopy (A:) |
|Properties | ---------------------
-------------------------

What I want is this:
-------------------------
| Open |
| Explore |
| Ominae -> | -> ----------------------
| Search... | | Program 1 |
-------------------------- | Program 2 |
|Send To -> | | Program 3 |
------------------------- ------------------------
|Properties |
-------------------------
*Pardon the crudity of my example but my work computer doesn't allow
access to image sharing websites.

So what I'm looking for is actually a second drop down menu. Nothing
fancy.

I've tried searching for this problem but I think perhaps I lack the
correct language to define exactly what I want to do.

Basically I want to add an item to the right-click menu if I've clicked
on a folder. That item then needs to contain a list of sub-functions
that I can then. Something similar to the 'Send To->' right-click
option. I already know how to add single entries to the right-click
menu but this is getting unweildy and I've got alot of functions I want
to add. It would be of benefit if I could simply have another
sub-right-click menu to store my specialized functions.

Thanks in advance.
