Some time ago a I read (and didn't save) instructions for debugging
Windows 95/NT4 shell namespace extensions.

Can anyone help.

What I can remember is this:

a) Have your extensions loaded in your IDE, with explorer.exe (I think)
followed by some parameters (which I don't remember)

b) Close down the shell (but not Windows) by bringing up the Shutdown
dialog and then selecting the Shutdown button, but with some combination
of ctrl, shift and or alt keys pressed also put left big toe in right
ear :-)

c) the shell shuts down, only to restart when you tell your IDE to run
(and debug).

Also, how do you restart the shell without rebooting after you've
finished debugging

TIA,

Stephen Walter
