You need to write a simple program for the context menu of a folder, in what programming language is it better to do this?

Hello,
I need to write a simple application for writing comments (logs) inside a folder, which will be integrated into the context menu when I right-click on the folder.
That is:
I right-click on a folder -> Add comment -> An application opens that reads from this folder, for example, a specific .txt file, which will be the same name in all folders, for example comment.txt, if not found, then creates such a file. Reads the text of the file into the program window, and after it comes the text input for the new comment.

Comments are saved in this format:
Date | User_login from Windows | Comment

Previously, I only programmed in VBA, PHP, JS.
What is the best programming language to program this in? C#? Visual Basic?
I tried to find something on the Internet about programs in the context menu of the folder, I did not find anything. In fact, this path to the selected folder must somehow be read as a parameter. An example of such an action is WinRaR, 7zip, Unlocker.

Answer the question

In order to leave comments, you need to log in

C#, VB, C++, etc., there is no difference for this task. On whichever is more convenient, write on that.
The context menu of the explorer, it seems, is stored in the registry, and you can add your program there.
