Microsoft's ShellCmd sample freezes windows

[2sky]

Yesterday, I was trying to create a shell extension for adding items to the context menu inside windows explorer. The .NET SDK comes with a sample application for this, shellcmd, but when I use this extension and right-click on an explorer item (in this case Folder items), every program that's running will be frozen. Anyone has an idea why this is?

Works fine for me (W2K SP2 IE6SP1 .NET1.1+1.0SP2).

I'm running WXP SP1 with Visual Studio 2003 (.NET 1.1) ... VERY weird :~ I've just reinstalled windows this week and this is the only strange thing I encountered up until now...
