Now lets begin the tutorial!
1.) First d/l the attached ZIP file and extract the DLL file from it.
2.) now simply register the DLL file by giving following command:

3.) Now see the magic. U'll get an image added to the context menu.
4.) To remove the image simply unregister the DLL file by giving following command:
NOTE : If u want to change the image, simply edit the file using Resource Hacker and change the image in the file. U can add any BMP file (max size 96x96).
( I got this DLL file a long time back, so can't remember the sitename. )
