Default Editing the taskbar context menu?

Is it possible to add items to the taskbar context menu? I am referring
to the menu produced when right clicking on the time within Windows XP
(ie "Toolbars" to Properties").

I want to add items onto this menu, but have not found a guide on how to
do this yet (I expect there is a registry entry required to do this). I
would either like to add items to this menu or edit the existing items
on the menu.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Any help will be much appreciated.
