How to show Windows Explorer context (right click) menu?

Question

I want to show the Windows Explorer context menu.

I don\'t want to add my application to it, I just want to display it inside my application.

You have two options:

1) Implement each functionality on your own, creating the corresponing actions on a custom context menu, or

2) Access the Windows API... and this is just what Qt is not intended to considering that Qt is cross-platform.
