Windows 7: Cascading "My Computer" menu in desktop context menu

Cascading "My Computer" menu in desktop context menu

I recently switched from XP to Windows 7 x64. I've used Stardock RightClick for years to make a cascading "My Computer" menu in the desktop context menu. This is a very handy way to browse files and folders. I found the tutorial @sevenforums to make a shortcut to "My Computer", but I really like to make this a cascading menu (as you get when you make a Toolbar on the Taskbar).

Any ideas?

Welcome to Seven Forums BenBau. You'll have to do some registry editing, but if you attempt, make sure to back up your registry first.

Thanks, but I already found that one also and it's not what I need. I meant the automatically "branching" menu like the one you get when you make a Desktop Toolbar in the Taskbar. You can use it to "surf" the contents of the folder/drive/computer.

I am personally unaware of any way to do that. Perhaps someone else will reply. A Guy

I'm still looking for a way to add a cascading menu like "Computer" or "Control Panel" to the desktop context menu (like the toolbar on the taskbar)...

Thanks, but no.
Attached is a screen-dump of my custom desktop context menu in WinXP.
I use Stardock RightClick for this, but unfortunately it is terminated.

What I need is an automatically cascading menu showing the contents of a folder/drive, like in my image.
