How to add an option to windows explorer right click menu?

I'd like add my own option to the Explorer right-click menu.
So lets say in case the file has extension ".AVI" I want to see an
option "blah", which will open this file using my program.

What you're wanting to do is create a Shell Extension -
http://www.informit.com/articles/art...69474&seqNum=1 might be a
good start - the example code is C# but easy enough to translate if
necessary. Alternatively, do a search - I had to make a property sheet
extension (in VB6) for a control panel app which was rather horrific, but
the simpler extension you're wanting to do shouldn't cause you *too* much
trouble!
