Context menu

I have successfully created the Context Menu in Windows XP and I want to add icon to context menu as shown in Figure. I've read the literature on the Context Menu but failed. Can you help me? Thank you.

private void registryMenuContextFolder(string menuName, string pathApp, string pathIcon)

{

        try
        {

            RegistryKey _key = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("Folder\\Shell", true);

            RegistryKey _keyFolder = _key.CreateSubKey(menuName);
            if (_keyFolder != null)
            {
                _keyFolder.SetValue("Icon",Application.ExecutablePath +",0");

            }
            RegistryKey _keyCmd = _keyFolder.CreateSubKey("Command");
            if (_keyCmd != null)
            {
                _keyCmd.SetValue("", pathApp);
            }
            _keyCmd.Close();
            _keyFolder.Close();
            _key.Close();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
        }
    }

What do you use in order to create your context menu? – Otiel Jan 22 '13 at 09:26
I registered in the Registry of Windows – Babyboypk Jan 22 '13 at 09:32
Can you edit your question and detail the keys you added in the registry? Can't help you much without details... – Otiel Jan 22 '13 at 09:37
I already posted the source on this article – Babyboypk Jan 22 '13 at 09:50
This is not an option. The ones you see with an icon are *shell extension handlers*. You can't write those reliably in a .NET language. – Hans Passant Jan 22 '13 at 13:29
Can you paste your whole registry subkey which is product of your code? You can do it by exporting key into text file. – Kamil Jan 22 '13 at 23:18
