Can I add an entry in context menu on windows 7 without admin rights

I would like to add an entry in the context menu in windows 7. Basically when I right click I would like to have something like "open Console2 here". There are out there tutorials that describe a method that modify the registry like this post. I do not have admin right and as such cannot create registry keys.

Is there any way to do this without admin rights ?

    The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key provides a merged view of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. So as a standard (non-admin) user you should have access to the latter key.
