Adding batch script to Windows 8 context menu

I saw some other questions about this here, but still got nothing working for what I want.

I want to right click the empty space of a folder, and see a menu for executing a batch file for the current folder.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\treeFiles]
@="Execute treeFiles"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\treeFiles\command]
@="C:\treeFiles.bat \"%V\""
@="C:\\treeFiles.bat -d \"\"%V\"\""

With the above, I can only see the item when I right-click a folder (not the empty space), and the batch will execute relative to it's self path, not the current folder.

Any idea how to fix?

Use this instead:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\treeFiles]
@="&Execute treeFiles"
"Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\shell32.dll,71"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\treeFiles\command]
@="C:\\treeFiles.bat \"%V\""
