• Smart Device Development Shellex/ContextMenuHandlers subkeys

  Does anyone know of a reference for the common subkeys supported for registering ContextMenuHandlers on MobileOS I've been able to register handlers for specific ones (e.g. gifimage) but not for some of the generic ones (e.g. *, Folder, AllFileSystemObjects).
