Add Windows context menu item

Being able to right-click and choose "Serve these files" on Windows' Explorer is handy. This is how you achieve it:

• Press WIN+R, type in regedit.exe and press Enter
• If you want to add this feature for all users, expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Else expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
• Navigate to SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory
• To add the feature for right-clicking folder background Background\shell. If for right-clicking folder, expand shell.
• Right-click shell you've expanded, choose New > Key and enter e.g. Serve these files.
• Right click the key you created, choose New > key and enter command (no choice here).
• Select command and on the right hand side right-click the (Default) and click Modify...
• Type in the absolute path of gong.exe. It should be in %GOPATH%/bin/gong.exe.
• If you want a different port for this function, append -port= and the port number you desire.
• If you're in Directory\shell you MUST append -root=%1 for this to work properly.
• After clicking OK you should now be able to use gong this way.
