    so I came up with this method to add this multiple selection in Context Menu.
    To do this follow the steps:
    1.Open Windows registry
    by pressing Window key+R and type regeit and press Enter

    2.Now navigate to this path
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\
    Under Shell create a new key and name it as Select

    3.On the left side we are going to create a 3 new String Value.
    Right click-->New-->String Value
    For first:
    Name      : icon 
    Value data: imageres.dll,-5308

    For Second: 
    Name       : MUIVerb
    Value Data: Select

    For Third: 
    Name : SubCommands
    Value Data: Windows.selectall;Windows.selectnone;Windows.invertselection

    4.Follow the same step 3 to following both paths
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibraryFolder\Background\shell\

    5.Now again navigate to this path
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\
    Similar to step 3 create a 3 strings as
    For First string:
    Name : icon
    Value: imageres.dll,-5308
    For Second:
    Name  : MUIVerb
    Value  : Select
    For Third:
    Name :SubCommands
    Value: Windows.selectall
    6.We came to end this, now close the Registry Editor.

    Can you make out a registry script which would do the above process automatically when double clicked ?? (as editing registry is a dangerous process which would malfunction the windows..)
