Hi, How can I add a menu choice in Windows explorer so that when I rightclick on a file i will be able to start a VB-dll that gets the filename(s) as arguments. Similar to how winzip adds its menu.

This is known as a "shell extension." There was an example on the Microsoft site about doing this in VB, but I don't know its name. Do a search on "VB shell extension."

Try http://www.domaindlx.com/e_morcillo/default.asp I think there's an example (and necessary typelib) there
