#include <array.au3>
#NoTrayIcon
Opt("TrayMenuMode", BitOR(1, 2)) ;Combined style 1 and 2 using BitOr
;Check if the file exists
If Not FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\links.ini") Then
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occurred, Make sure the links.ini is in the same folder as PSIrightclick.exe")

And yes it uses a script for the about section that shows a simple graphic:-

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
Begingraphic1()

Func Begingraphic1()
Local $gui, $background, $pic, $basti_stay, $msg
Local $sFile = @ScriptDir & "\Backups\logo4.gif"
$gui = GUICreate("New Right Click Menu v1.2", 400, 100)
; background picture
$background = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & "\Backups\msoobe.jpg", 0, 0, 400, 100)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
; transparent MDI child window
$pic = GUICreate("", 369, 68, 20, 20, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD), $gui)
; transparent pic
$basti_stay = GUICtrlCreatePic($sFile, 0, 0, 369, 68)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Do
  $msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until Sleep(900)
Exit
EndFunc

I've been using this for ages at work, however as our systems are finaly being updated to Win7, i'd like to be able to update the right click menu to look more fancy

You might want to use the because you can use icons in the menu and works on 32 Bit / 64 Bit windows.
