You can't really do that with Windows 98 unless you are able to program. You could, however add several entries to the context menu for various file types. You will then have a choice of which program to use to open that filetype.

For example. Let's say Gif And let's say you want to add open in IE to the context menu.
Go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\giffile\shell
Create a new key under SHELL
Name it IE
Create a new Key under IE. Name it Command
In the right pane, change the default value for command to this:

C:\program files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe %1

Now right click on a gif and choose IE to open that file in Internet Explorer.

In 98 you may need to surround the %1 in Quotation marks for it to work. Try it either way first to see how it responds. Like this:

C:\program files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe "%1"

OR you can do this in Folder Options. Find a file type and add a new action. Like IE for example. Click and add the path to the exe you want to use to open the file type.

The kind of more complex item you are asking for is not possible unless you can write a shell extension. (in win98) OR if you want to upgrade to Win XP where this already exists. The way many AV programs or Winzip do it(write a cascading context menu entry) for example. If you know how or have a progammer friend willing to do it, have a look at MSDN for guidance.

Create your menu items in Send To, not Open With.

You can create entries in the Send To context menu simply by creating shortcuts to desired applications, and placing those shortcuts in folder C:\Windows\SendTo
