Hi
Using a couple of examples on CodeProject.com I've create a nice little shell extension (adds some custom menus for proprietary file types). Everything is working fine, except I can't get it to unregistry completely itself without killing explorer. I call UnregisterAssembly and even manually remove all references to it from the registry, this prevents the menus appearing which is good and right. But I still can not actually delete (or more importantly update) the actually exe/dll without killing explorer. All the web sites I've seen give the impression that it is impossible to completely free up the exe/dll without killing explorer, but that isn't really an option in my case. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Kevin |

Make sure you check the "Launch folder windows in a separate process"
option in Explorer's Folder Options dialog. That way you should only ahve to close the explorer windows that you've opened since the extension was last registered. Mattias |
