You can't.

Umm are you sure? There's quite a few third party apps out there that does it. And toolbars, isn't that writing a toolband extension?

You may be able to find an extension somewhere. I don't know where you'd start, though.

Well, webview with shell automation works (but isn't quite as integrated)... -

Get a resource editor, BACKUP explorer.exe, hack explorer.exe...
Three simple steps to customization that has an almost guaranteed chance of stuffing up your computer. So, on second thoughts, don't just backup explorer.exe, backup everything.

Explorer doesn't use "standard" menus, compare Notepad's to Explorers, Spy++ also shows us that Explorer's menubars use the same class as the toolbars. (Similar to Office's toolbars and menubars)

However MS says you should not do these kind of extensions with .NET. If the user wants to use another extension that needs different version of .NET then ...
It's however possible to use some kind of native proxy and do the grunt work with .NET. (avoiding loading any managed code to explorer)
I recommend looking the PDC05 presentations.. One of them was about plugins and discussed extending explorer.
