What you ask for is not trivial to implement.  You need a Context Menu Shell
Extension, implemented as a separate DLL from your main executable.  You
have to implement an IContentMenu interface and then register it with the OS
so that it can use your interface whenever a popup menu appears.  Refer to
the following documentation for more information:
