Vista: Registry Shell Namespace Extensions

Vista: Thursday, February 07, 2008 at 06:41 PM by Randy

CodePlex: The Windows Registry Shell Namespace Extension allows Windows Explorer to view and interact with the Windows Registry data via Explorer windows. It demonstrates existing Shell extensibility points like IShellFolder2 and SHCreateShellFolderView and also demonstrates new concepts in Vista including the property system, property schema extensibility, and content indexing via Protocol Handlers. This project is implemented using C++ and ATL.

This is pretty freakin' cool... I just installed it - even though it's beta it seems to be working no problem. Even shortcuts and Copy Path work with it...

Not for your casual computer user of course - if you are asking yourself "what's the Registry" you want not part of this tool!
