In previous Windows versions, I could assign multiple actions to the context menu that came up when I right-clicked on a file. For example, I could have three actions for .jpg files to open in Preview, Paint, and Paintshop. (Tools --> Folder options --> file types --> advanced, if I remember right)

In Windows 7, I can only change the default action. There's no ability to add additional ones without messing directly with the registry.

    There are other tools out there that let you manage your context menu. There is no need for one more.
    Also, there's nothing wrong with messing directly with the registry.

    Just in case you don't know any such tool, Default Programs Editor or NirSoft's FileTypesMan are the two best ones.
