I would like to add an additional item to the map context menu in ArcMap 10.1.  Specifically the context menu when you right click over the map.  Here's a picture:

I found the following post (http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/40395-Need-ProgID-for-context-menu-properties-command) that talks about going to Customize -> Customize Mode and then selecting the Context Menus toolbars, searching for the context menu you want to modify and then getting its GUID from the registry.  However, I am not finding the above menu.  Have I overlooked something?  I can't believe this is one of the context menus that can't be modified.

Anyone else know what the GUID for this context menu is?

Thanks!

Hi,
I hope that you are looking for this:

Thanks for the response.  I did find this before I posted and doing a word search for "context" didn't point me to the correct menu.  I don't think the menu I want listed here which must mean it is not configurable?

Thanks!  I guess I overlooked this one when searching through all the context menus.
