I'm trying to modify Windows registry so that the context menu for certain audio file extensions so that is an option to start my application on the said files. The application is written Java but wrapped in an exe wrapper using Winrun4j.
Ive been using this example How do I make context menus for my software? to try and do this. The frustrating thing is the demo adds a context menu for .txt files and that works, and if I hack the code and add it to my application for .txt file it also works. But if I then just change the code to work on audio files such as .mp3 no errors are reported but it doesn't work, no option is shown on the context menu for .mp3s
The code check to see if a particular group is associated with another application and if it is that affects the the value entered into registry, but both audio files and text files are associated with another application (Audio Vlc, txt, UltraEdit) so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I did try ignoring these applications and adding direct into Software/.mp3/classes instead of Software/Vlc/classes but it made no difference.
Here is the output when I run:
