Add menu items to SHIFT + right click menu on Windows

The point is to add right click menu items only for Shift+Right click. Don't even bother: regular right click is all over the web, but I want to add some items that wouldn't clutter my right click.

Here's how to add "Open Command Window Here" for right click menu. What do I need to modify to add it only to Shift+Right click?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt] @="Open Command Window Here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\command] @="cmd.exe /k pushd %L" 

(Yes, I know, that's exactly what win7 does).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt] @="Open Command Window Here" "Extended"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\command] @="cmd.exe /k pushd %L" 

Note the "Extended"="" command on the fourth line.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\CommandPrompt] @="Open Command Window Here" "Extended"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\CommandPrompt\command] @="cmd.exe /k pushd %L" 

You probably want to add to the Background

While searching for solutions on how I can add the command to regular right click, i stumbled upon this question. I already had the solution to open the command prompt window on shift+right click and I feel like I should share it, since it's a bit different than the ones mentioned here.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; show OpenCmdWindow when shift+right click [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd] "HideBasedOnVelocityId"=- "ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8 

I also noticed that you need permissions for changing the values in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell. I use SetACL to modify permissions from command line.
