How do I add my own items to the desktop context menu? I know it's possible because some program I downloaded and installed did it (NVidia shortcuts alos get put in there). It doesnt seem to be in the registry, where is it?

Just goes to show what searching Google and this forum can do. Sometimes I think everyone should be required to do these searches before posting, but there I go behaving like a dictator again.

Your reply went right over my head. "Jawohl, mein Herr" is the only German phrase I know.

Just assumed you were fluent in German since you spelled everything correctly, and capitalized Herr. What I said was, "Well, I did live in Germany for two years".
Jawohl mein Herr is a good phrase to know anyway. I have a vague recollection that Mein should be capitalized because it's a possessive pronoun modifying Herr.
Oh, well...

I bow to your knowledge of the subject. The only thing I can recall about the phrase "Jawohl mein Herr" is that it's origin is Bavarian dialect.
Don't ask me how I remember that or why. Old college class, maybe? 8-)
