How to add "Play with VLC" to folder context menu

Adding a subtlety to what has already been said. In windows if the file association for songs is not VLC the context menu in windows explorer will not appear.

The way I did this was:

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

1. Add new key named PlayWithVLC, edit its default string to: Play With VLC
2. Under PlayWithVLC, add a new String Value named Icon, edit its value to: "C:\Program Files\Videolan\VLC\vlc.exe",0
3. Under PlayWithVLC key, add a key named command, edit its default string value to: "C:\Program Files\Videolan\VLC\vlc.exe" "%1"

At least its working for me.

Some people say that you should clone these settings in another registry location, but I can't find that reference now.
