Shell Namespace Extension
-
I'm writing an extension to windows shell. It was placed to the "My Computer" and have created some subfolders (my hierarchy). Explorer is showing all of them and I have no problem with it. But when I'm opening notepad and try to open a file from my extension (or just browse through it) - there is no my extension at all in the CFileDialog window. How can I implement such feature? I've started to think about DDK, but I don't think that My Documents folder was created via DDK, but it is accessible from the standart save/open file dialogs. How can I do the same? :confused: With the best regards, Vitaly.

There is a KB article describing what you have to do to get your NSE to show up in the common file dialog. Dont have a link to it where i am, but try searching for it. (you will not get that many hits if you search on "namespace extension") The bad news is that i will only work on win 2000 and newer systems. (without some serious "hacking" with yor NSE)
