Registry Problem

[JustGreat]

I made a programm and wanted it to appear on the right click windows menu, of all files and folders, so i added it to registry in the following places :

For admin users, i added it to

To add it to all files :
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open With My program\command


To add it to all folders :
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open With My program\command

For users that are not admin (if they have rights to write in the registry) :

To add it to all files :
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\Shell\Open With My program\command

To add it to all folders :
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Folder\Shell\Open With My program\command



It's working as supposed, i mean it appears on the right click menu in windows for all files and folders, BUT THE PROBLEM IS :

When i make double click with "LEFT" mouse, on any file that is not associated to an application in my pc (.swf, .vbw etc..), my program is launched automatically !!
USUALLY, when we do this, we have the open with form that appears, but since i added my program as described above , it's my program that run automatically , why and how to prevent this ?
If i am not in the right Forum/Section, please tell me where can i post my question


ps: It's the same problem on Win XP and Vista !

Shouldn't your context menu go into "shellex\ContextMenuHandlers" ?

I don't have experience in registry, I asked before i added my program some people in forums, how to add my program to the registry to make it appear on right click of all files and folders,they told me to put it in the registry that i mentioned above, I did and it appeared as expected wich is what i want, but the surprise was that each time you click on unknow extension my program is launched, so can you tell me what is the difference between the key where i put and the one you propose ?
I prefere not to mess with the registry that's why i am asking you because you have more experience in that

Thanks a lot again for your support
