As Tim says - it's by file type.

You will notice the top entry on the right click menu is open
Then lower in the list there may be Open With
and then even further down there is Sendto

You can add to the send to by adding shortcuts to application software to
the sendto directory under your personal directory tree
see your 'id' version of C:\Documents and Settings\<your id>\SendTo
Note shortcuts to shortcuts won't work
I add
wordpad notepad MSword Excel Irfanview My Documents

For the Open with - select 'Chose..', when presented with the list select
the entry you want
ensure the
'always use '
is NOT selected unless you want that program added to the top of the list
shown as Open With
and used for the Open.

The Open with list keeps the always use entry at the top of the list,
and whatever you used last is moved to be second, pushing any other entries
lower down the list

You can also use the Windows Explorer - Tools Folder Options File Types to
Change the Associated program to be used to 'Open' the file,
or Advanced to enter additional programs so you will be asked to chose which
application/program to use for a file of that type
