Custom Right Click Menu Item

In Windows XP I was able to add a batch file entry to the right click menu
on a folder. Here is the registry file that I add to do such.

-- Begin "jhead Rename.reg" --
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\jheadRename]
@="Rename &JPEGs with jhead"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\jheadRename\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L & jheadRename.bat & exit\""

-- End "jhead Rename.reg" -

Well, I can't do this in Vista in my standard user account as this is in the
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT section. How can I do this with my standard account and only
effect that account (i.e. in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER area instead of the
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT area)?

Thanks,

Mike
