I'm looking to add a menu item to Windows Explorer context menu for a certain file extension - for the purpose of this example let's say for MP3 files.
Upon rightclicking the file and selecting the menu item I want a command to be executed:
- Take filename and extension (but without the file path) of the file and add that to a new text file which is named the same.



Here's where I'm at with the registry file:



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTSystemFileAssociations.mp3shellCreateNfoFilecommand]

@="cmd.exe /C echo #filenameWithoutPath.mp3# >> #filename.txt#"


The ## indicates where I am blank. What I can't figure out is to build the command to take the filename of the selected file and add that with extension to a new text file of the same name.
