Shell Extension Question

Hi,

the application I'm currently writing implements a context menu item for all files. I've added a key in the registry at:

Code:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\My_Command_Name\command

and a default value of:

Code:
"c:\path\to\program.exe" "%1"

Now, this works fine with one file, but if I select more, an instance of the program is opened for each one. I am interested in sending every file as a separate parameter to the program, where it gets processed and added to a list.

I've poked around MSDN and found a few interesting topics, but none which cover my exact problem. A word of advice or a link would be greatly appreciated.

Another issue altogether (but one which does not require a separate topic in my opinion) is this: I have Visual Studio 2005 and would like to build a .NET 1 (or 1.1) compatible application. Any chance of that happening or is it back to the old tools?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day.
