[Link] Apply A .bmp To Your Right-click Menu

I found this at winmod. Link Thought this might be of some use.

"For those of you who don't know who Grigri is, he is a long time member of the Virtual Plastic community, and a life long programmer, knowing all major language formats, especially C++. He's a great friend of mine, and really, the community's only solid, willing to help programmer that knows what we want and need, and is willing to provide it.

So, this time, he comes through once again with a small shell extension, consisting of only one DLL as most always do. You download it, unzip it, register the DLL, and watch it work. What it does is it applies bitmaps to the explorer context menus for file/folder. The great thing about this though, is that it literally "skins" the whole menu, allowing you to fill the entire menu space with one BMP, without resizing the menu itself. There is a bitmap of course, already in the DLL file, but to change it, simply open the DLL file up in Reshacker, and change it to whatever you like."

To regester the .dll (after you add your .bmp) DL and install this app : RegSvrEx

After you install the app and reshack the .dll right click on the file you should see a "ActiveX" option. Pick register. Done.

Unfortunately it doesn't skins all menus, but at least is something

coolness! I saw this mod, but didnt know exactly what it could do until I saw that screenshot. I've seen apps and reghacks that add bitmaps to the top of the menu, but this is cool. If bother were used in conjunction I think we could get some really cool looking menus.

Anyone know how to make that bitmap stretch instead of tile? I just want a gradient background for my menus, like Longhorn, and being set to tile, it looks fugly.
