It would only do that for files that do not already have their own default
commands set up elsewhere in the Registry.  The "*" key is a sort of
catch-all that handles files which don't have their own specific handlings
already.

You cannot, if you use the "*" key.  It fills in the context menu before the
file-specific commands are filled in, that is why your command always
appears at the top of the context menu.

Besides, placement of the command within the context menu makes no
difference at all.  If you right-click on a file, the menu item that is
actually displayed as bold, regardless of positioning, is the file's default
command, and is the one that will be triggered on a double-click.  It sounds
like your command has become the default command for files that do not
already have default commands of their own.
