Context Right-Click Custom Job?

I use a program called clipomatic to help me extend the function of the normal clipboard utility. What I'd ultimately like, is to access the clipomatics pop-up menu from a context right-click in a text box or text area (Win 98).

If anyone knew that, you'd be a star. But if anything I'm just after current known ways of adding items to the context right-click menu (Win 2k / XP). I'm pretty sure it's to do with shell entries somewhere in the registry but, i haven't delved for a while.

Anyone any ideas?

I've included a screenshot of what I'd like to see!

Sorry guys, I missed out the mocked up screenshot. I only want to add items to the right-click context menu that pops up in a text box or text area. I'm assuming it's the same menu for when you right-click an empty area in MS Notepad, or if your renaming a filename and right-click the selected text, or if your in a browser and right-click the address bar or in a text box.

So instead off the.....
_______________
|  Undo     &nb sp;  |
|  ---------   |
|  Cut     &nbs p;   |
|  Copy     &nb sp;  |
|  Paste     &n bsp; |
|  Delete     & nbsp;|
|  ----------  |
|  Select All  |

I just realised where this menu is!

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCLC.DLL

I resource hacked the .dll file and found the following entry for a popup menu...

POPUP "Control"
{
    MENUITEM "&Undo", 43
    MENUITEM SEPARATOR
    MENUITEM "Cu&t", 16
    MENUITEM "&Copy", 15
    MENUITEM "&Paste", 26
    MENUITEM "&Delete", 17
    MENUITEM SEPARATOR
    MENUITEM SEPARATOR
    MENUITEM "Select &All", 31
}

It does contain two entries for a 'SEPARATOR' after '&Delete' but I'm sure it only shows the one if they're both together like that.

This .dll file must be part of EXPLORER.EXE & IE as I've resource hacked it before to customize the default web pages for DNS ERROR & ACTION CANCELD - res://C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCLC.DLL/navcancl.htm & res://C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCLC.DLL/dnserror.htm

Each menu item comes along with a particular code (i.e. '16' for 'cut') but I doubt I'll be able to run specific commands from this after I added my own personalized......

MENUITEM "Clipomatic", VK_V, 9999, CONTROL, ALT, VIRTKEY.

Clipomatics Popup menu uses the Ctrl+Alt+V combination. Would that invoke the Ctrl+Alt+V combo when I clicked on the Clipomatic menu item in the IE text box Popup menu?

What do you guys think?
