Explorer does not load shell extension..
-
Hi, I have a (context menu) shell extension registered to both exefiles and dll files under W2K SP1. I've also entered the required info in the HKLM\Software\Micrsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved key. The problem is that the extension works fine for all exe files but does not even load with dll files. I checked to make sure there is an entry under HKCR\dllfile\shellex\contextmenuhandlers. What's weird is that when I use regmon I see what's going on, I notice that explorer makes no attempt to even look at that key. The code is based on the one found at http://www.codeproject.com/shell/shellextguide2.asp Any ideas?? Thanks, Jignesh

Check that the default value of HKCR\.dll really contains "dllfile" --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ #include "buffy_sig"
