Add Program to Right-Click Menu

When you right click on any folder, you can have access to that application in the context menu, the same as using Open With.

Open Regedit by clicking the Start menu and selecting Run. Then type regedit in the box and click OK.
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
Add a new Key to the "Shell" Key and name it "newprogmekey".
Give it a default value that will appear when you right click a folder, i.e "newprogmekey" (use an "&" without the quotes, in front of any character and it will allow you to use the keyboard)
Click on the Key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\newprogmekey
Add a New Key named Command
Set the (Default) value of the application you want to run
