  Shell Context Menu
Context menu handlers are associated with a particular file type, or perhaps with a more generic "type"; for instance, the sendto extension is registered under HKCR\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers, and that is the reason why you see it popping up almost all the time.
Context menu handlers can add verbs dynamically depending on the context, as opposed to static verbs which are hard-coded in the registry.
Context menu handlers on the other hand learn about the files selected at the moment of their instantiation, just before the menu is shown.
