Hi, It looks like if you're a profesionnal programmer (thus already having some experience), this book ('C++ Primer Plus') isn't quite the one you need. I think you should pick this book: 1. 'Accelerated C++ : Practical Programming by Example' It belongs to the 'C++ In-Depth' Series edited by Bjarne Stroustrup himself Of course the other books of the series are of very high quality too, but these two might well be what you're looking for. (Except maybe 'Essential C++', which isn't really recommended) Plus, the book doesn't take the dumb 'let's make it C-wise, then C++-wise' approach of way too many C++ books out there. Alternately, there's another good book, and this one's free... 2. 'Thinking in C++' - http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html If you like to really understand C++ in long-term. The only 'issue' might be that this book is rather a book for people migrating from C to C++, but don't fear it. It doesn't cost too much to download it and see if it suits your needs ;-) And you might like the fact that the authors of these books teach you things like STL usage very early on. Have fun learning C++, 'cause if you don't do what you like, you have to like what you do :-)

I've been looking through some documentation recently but I couldn't find a way to make a shell extension managing the 'paste' message. If you have a link to some helpful doc, I would be really grateful. The goal is to manage the copies in a more advanced way, like in this example : http://supercopier.sfxteam.org/uploads/scdeplier.png I've already done something like this in an old project of mine (a minimalistic file explorer), but this time I want it to be in Windows' file explorer. Thanks in advance, and happy 4th of July to all Americans ;-)
