However, I'm having a problem with implementation. I succeeded in adding the item to the context menu, but when I click it, Windows (XP) acts as if I'm trying to open a file of unknown type. I get that dialog box requesting: "choose the program you want to use to open this file." Naturally, Windows Explorer is not among them, but I was able to browse to it. Unfortunately, I was NOT able to click the box that says "always use the selected program to open this kind of file," because it was grayed out. Please advise.

While I still don't think I'll want to add anything to the context menu, before this I hadn't found any way at all to open another [Vista] window from a link in the current. However I found that, for my Vista machine, this sentence In Windows Vista, Server 2008 and Seven, you can open a folder or drive in new window by right-clicking on it and selecting "Open" option. "Explore" option opens the folder or drive in same window but "Open" option opens them in a new window. has the facts reversed. The context menu's "Open" replaces the current window's contents while "Explore" gives me the new window I had been looking for. Was happy to find this article while looking for something else.
