Shell extension problem
Eugene Sadovoi
I’m writing custom windows 95 shell folder. I want it to behave the same way
"Recycle Bin" does, but I want it to display my hierarchy. I’ve implemented
IShellFolder in-process server. I made it appear on the Desktop, and I can see
it in Explorer highest level hierarchy, but when I’m trying to expand it,
Explorer queries my server DLL for some interface with id:
{000214EA-0000-0000-C000000000000046}.
The ID or Interface is not documented anywhere.
I’m wondering if anyone can enlighten me on this meter.
Please respond by Email: evg...@eniks.com
Best regards
Eugene

{000214EA-0000-0000-C000000000000046} is IPersistFolder. Shell is trying to
give you your parent folder (IPersistFolder::Init). I posted a working sample
shell extension a couple of weeks ago to comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32.
Try to get that (subject included regext). It implements all the interfaces
necessary to implement a browsable virtual folder.

There is a lot of information including sample code available at

Mark Hughes It's a good job that this file is
hu...@i2.co.uk ASCII because you'd never read my

This sample code is available (along with a lot of other undocumented shell info) at

In win95, I believe you use a key (ctl?) when you chose delete with the mouse.
This makes it go away, bypassing the garbage can. I am using Norton now, which
is why I am not totally sure. The manual says if you delete them from a dos box
they re gone, but we knew that.

You can "permanently" remove files without going to
the Recycle Bin by setting
its properties (right button click) and under
the Global page check
"Do not Move files to the Recycle Bin
Remove files immediately on delete".

I do not know how to do away with the recycle bin entirely, however
you may force both Windows 95 and Windows NT w/ NewShell to physically
delete file(s) rather than putting them in the recycle bin
by simultaneously pressing the SHIFT key when you click on the Delete
entry of the popup menu or the 'X' symbol on the toolbar.

To remove the recycling bin (or any other virtual folder on the
desktop), run REGEDIT and go to the key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
Under this key you will find several class ids, one for each virtual
(non file-system) folder. For example, on my machine there is:
{00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} - Inbox
{00028B00-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} - The Microsoft Network
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} - Recycle Bin
{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8} - The Internet
You can delete any of these which you don't want. You can also add one
of your own, as long as your class supports the (undocumented)
IShellFolder interface.
