I want to make a small program that locks folders with password and unlocks with that password again. I can do it with adding some special Class Ids to folder name. ()
Also, I want to add this feature to windows right click context menu for folders.(-> Lock & Unlock this folder)
I can add new items to folders via "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell" successfully. It seems when a folder is not locked. But after a folder is locked, the item is not seem on right click context. I have tried with several nodes of regedit but no one is succeeded.
How can I add a new item to right click context of all folders (include locked folders)?

You need to register your command in the key for the CLSID you used to "lock" the folder.
If you use the "lock GUID" ({2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}) then you must add your verb under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\shell"
