you don't have it because it is an example i used. You have to find your own icons through windows or find them on the internet.
try:Icon Archive - 207,289 free icons, buddy icons, xp icons, vista icons, desktop icons
Now my context menu show Firefox icon Thanks for help, if i click that icon Firefox not open this error came (Look screen shot) .
How do i fix this matter now?

I think this tutorial miss adding command options to the registry. For example if we click that context menu shot cut we can't open that program so then that process will be useless so i decided to add that information in here. Don't angry with me!
Follow these screen shots after you create short cut!
1st
Create sub key naming it as a "command" ("C" should be lower case).
After create it you can see this way.
2nd
Copy short path including its .exe file name
Modify command key bubble click it and Past its path. Like this way.
After that you can see it this way.
You done it!
Now you can launch your favorite program clicking context menu shortcut!

Hi there, I don't have any entries in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\ but I have changed ones in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\. I have one for MediaInfo lite in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\. It shows the context menu entry for all filetypes, as it should, but it shows the icon only for certain filetypes. Why would this be? Cheers.
its the best tutorial:)
What size icon is best displayed in the context menu? My guess would be 16x16?
Interesting. I guess now there should be a Shell Add-In just in case too like the handy Tweak Send To Toys or CuteMenus for example.
In addition, in case you want to Extract icons quickly, try the little app recommended by HowToGeek Staff: BeCyIconGrabber.
If you liked it, just don't forget to say 'thank you'.
Enjoy and have a happy new year!
