How to add item to Context Menu in IE7 Options

Hi,

How to add our own item to IE7 context menu... For example
rightclicking on a selected text gives copy, paste options. How to
include another option like "search" to the same context
menu?

And how to associate our own programs to run if that option is
selected?

I posted the same query in IE7 group but I got no response yet.
I am comfortable at VB6 hence posting here.

Thanks

Did you try Google? A quick search just turned
up these:

It involves using script and Registry settings. I wonder,
though, if you might have trouble with security issues
on XP SP2 and later if you want to run script from a
custom menu.

Should not be a problem with scripts if the proper registry entries ( CLSID/GUID ) are created / made /
entered.
Remember the old IE 5 web accessories: highlight search, links list, images list, etc?
I still use them in XP Pro, SP3 and IE 7.

Have not tried them in Windows 7 IE 8 yet though.
