    {
        if (e.Verb == ShellCommand.Open)
            e.Cancel = true;
        //this is equivalent to:
        if (e.Verb == ShellContextMenuCommand.Open)
            e.Cancel = true;

            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Verb.Caption);
    };
    shellBrowser.ShowContextMenu(Cursor.Position);
