Add To Win API Send To Menu for VLC Project

AI Thread Summary
To customize the "Send To" menu in Windows Explorer, users can add new items by placing shortcuts in the SendTo folder located at C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo. For the project involving communication over a visible light channel, the goal is to create a shortcut that allows files to be sent directly to VLC. This requires setting up a background process that detects the right-click event, encodes the data if necessary, and sends it through the serial port. Resources such as Microsoft's support page and Lifehacker provide guidance on modifying the Send To menu effectively.

When right-clicking any file in Windows Explorer, there's a SEND TO menu. I want to add to this menu. My colleague and I are attempting communication over a visible light channel for our senior year electrical engineering project. What I'm imagining is right-click->Send To->VLC. There will be a process running in the background that detects this event, encodes the data if need be, and fires it out the serial port. Any ideas how to add to this menu, and get a program running from it?

In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
