shellextension
The shellextension instruction is used to enable a shell extension in the output image.
shellextension <context menu handler CLSID> <extension dll> <executable>
If an image contains shell extensions, the MergeStartupDir VM setting should be enabled to allow operations on file system items using the context menu in Windows Explorer.
Examples:
enable MergeStartupDir
# shellextension <context menu handler CLSID> <extension dll> <executable>
shellextension "{B41DB860-64E4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}" "@PROGRAMFILES@\WinRAR\rarext.dll" "@PROGRAMFILESX86@\WinRAR\winrar.exe"
shellextension "{B41DB860-8EE4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}" "@PROGRAMFILESX86@\WinRAR\rarext.dll" "@PROGRAMFILESX86@\WinRAR\winrar.exe"
