How to add subfolders to the Context Menu by hand with registry

I have 2 programs and i want to add a folder with 2 subfolders to the right click menu on a file (Context Menu), so, when i press on a file, it shows me the name of the folder. When i move the cursor onto the folder, it should show the 2 subfolders (for 2 programs that i made that change size of this file.

MY PROBLEM: I don't know how to tell the registry that the folder (called MyPrograms, see below) has 2 subfolders.

IMPORTANT: I do NOT want to use software like Easy Context Menu.

You see that the last option has an arrow, i want the same, so subfolders.
