Creating Context Menu Handlers
When a user right-clicks a Shell object, the Shell displays its context menu. For file system objects there are a number of standard items, such as Cut and Copy, that are on the menu by default. If the object is a file that is a member of a class, additional items can be specified in the registry. Finally, the Shell checks the registry to see if the file class is associated with any context menu handlers. If it is, the Shell queries the handler for additional context menu items. |

Creating Shell Extension Handlers
The capabilities of the Shell can be extended with registry entries and .ini files. While this approach to extending the Shell is simple, and adequate for many purposes, it is limited. For example, if you use the registry to specify a custom icon for a file class, the same icon will appear for every file in that class. Extending the Shell with the registry does not allow you to vary the icon for different members of the class. Other aspects of the Shell, such as the Properties property sheet that can be displayed when a file is right-clicked, cannot be modified at all with the registry. |

So, the question (as indicated by the title) involved a member wanting to disable the right-click context menu from the Flash ActiveX component when being used in a WinForms application.

I am a fresher and have been given a requirement in VB.net
I have to make an application in VB.net which will run as a system
tray icon and
will add one or two items in the default windows right clink context
menu.
on clicking on that menu item the application should write a signature
on the current cursor position
for example
if this application is running and user opens notepad / outlook new
mail
and right clicks anywhere the default windows context menu will appear
with an additional menu item "Add signature"
and on cliking on this menu item a pre defined signature will be
inserted to the current cursor position.
Does anyone knows how to go for it in VB.net
