Description

Right click on folder -> "Share via Syncthing" menu item is visible -> hovering over that menu item, a submenu appears with a bunch of checkboxes for each device that syncthing knows about.

(Possibly this could be an entirely separate thing to SyncTrayzor - but IMO making synctrayzor "easy to use windows integration" gives it a lot more value than being just a systray icon and nothing else)

Research direction
This is a feature request for adding a right click context menu entry to Windows Explorer folders to share via Syncthing. The implementation would require building a Windows shell extension using C# and COM interop. Research the existing SyncTrayzor codebase to understand how it communicates with Syncthing (likely via REST API or local IPC). Check the issue comments for any additional requirements or design hints. Look into Windows shell extension tutorials and the Syncthing API documentation for sharing folders.
