Hi,

I'm trying to create a Windows Explorer window in C#. I've been looking
around and have found a lot of pieces that should make it possible for me,
by searching on keywords like ishellview, createviewwindow and
ishellbrowser. But I haven't found a complete working demo.

Doesn't anynow where to find one?

I just contacted to the author, Dave Rensin, who was very
helpful. You need to set a register key specifying where
in the explorer namespace the extension will appear. After
that, a virtual folder will appear in explorer. For
example, to mount the sample extension under My Computer, add
the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\My
Computer\NameSpace\{6B49E580-186E-4f8c-AB6A-E55D6F0F171D}

Change the key/GUID as needed.
