Answer 1

You need to write a shell extension for Windows Explorer. This extension will execute in the Explorer.exe process and previously it was not recommended to implement the extension using .NET because only one version of the .NET runtime could be loaded into Explorer.exe process. However, in .NET 4 it is possible to load multiple version of the .NET runtime within the same process making it possible to write shell extensions using .NET. For more information you can read the article How to Write Windows Shell Extension with .NET Languages on Code Project.
