Windows Vista Registry Tweak:Add Shortcut to Context Menu Handler of Computer and Desktop
To create context menu handler under Computer in Windows Vista, navigate the registry to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell
{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} is GUID (Global Unique Identifier of Computer)
NOTE: There is no need to convert the String value (REG_SZ) to String Expand (REG_EXPAND_SZ).
Create a Windows Vista registry key as you wish, lets us say gpedit & set the default value like “Group Policy”; now create another key named as command and set the default value as “mmc.exe gpedit.msc”

Here is some registry code to add Services, Registry Editor, and Group Policy & so on.
