I'm on XP Pro SP2.

I am wanting to add new entries to the right-click context menu of files in windows. For example, on a .jpg there is currently:

Open
Edit
Print
Resize Pictures
Preview
Refresh Thumbnail

...And I want to add one which says 'Edit with photoshop'. How does one access the settings for this context menu? I looked in filetypes but it only seems to have what it opens with there.

I _think_ it can be found in Explorer -> Folder Options -> File Types, highlight file type, click Advanced, then New Action.

Thansk, that prompted me to remember my problem.

When I was going to that pane, it only had "change" to change the application it opened with, and "restore", where the "advanced" button should have been. So I clicked restore then the "advanced" button took its place and I managed to do what I wanted.
