How to add command to explorer context menu?

Question

Windows

Good afternoon everyone.
Tell me why the menu item does not appear when adding:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\notepad]
@="Открыть Блокнот"

Reboot doesn't help.
Next code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CMD]

adds a CMD item to the folder menu.
But I need a command in the menu from the free space in the folder.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Command Prompt]
@="Command Prompt"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\ shell\Command Prompt\command]
@="Cmd.exe /k pushd %L"
