IE context menu extensions

Mon, May 24, 2004

Raymond, ever the source of interesting info, details how to extend the context menu in IE.  This was the first feature that I coded up at MS after I joined back in 97.  This came in late in the IE4 product cycle.  It is cool to see that it still comes up once in a while.  The original idea was to allow a dictionary program to let you right click on a word to get a definition.  It turns out to be much more powerful than that.
