wheres what screenshot?

Hmm, I got it done with C# and VB.NET. I'm a C# coder and downloaded the base classes needed to implement a context menu handler (that's what this kinda things are called) that's written in VB.NET. Bummer. It's copy and pasting codes from everywhere and making them work. Anyway, it's working well, but now I need to know what kinda dependencies are needed, does the .NET Framework need to be installed? What other files do I need to include?

It's working somewhat weird, sometimes it works on all files, sometimes it doesn't at all. But it always works for files on the desktop. I think it's something to do with the registry or there's something wrong with the codes somewhere. Since I'm using the Messenger API, the only function available is the SendFile and using that, only the FileDialog will pop up and not sent automatically. I have to use SendKeys to send the Enter key to the MSN and that works alrite, but sometimes launches the file instead.

So, I'll release the proggie once I find out what's needed for it to run properly. And need to tweak the registry settings. Any ideas anyone? Oh yeah, it's an dll file, not a plugin whatsoever.

(P/S I did a proggie which sends an SMS to me everytime someone comes online, pretty buggy though, but working alrite, anyone interested? )

aaah at last! somebody who's taking the challenge
thanks for your work already, edkwh!

I hope you get around the issues you encounter.. let me know if you need a tester

Ow and euh... I might be interested in your SMS program too.

Okay, I'm posting up the files so you guys can try it out first. It's still little buggy, you need the .NET Framework 1.1. Got it working all the time in Windows 98SE, guess it hates Windows XP. Well, maybe it's my PC ? Try it out and get back to me. Oh, just unzip the files to C:\MSN Shell Extension or just C:\ using the path given. Then run the .reg script which is little jumbled up but should be the right one. If you're extracting the files to another directory, please change the registry script. Hope this works, haven't really try it with a clean install. Oh yeah, if it doens't appear on the first try, try restarting your PC. I hold no responsibility at what damage this might cause, use it at your own risk. Please do get back to me on how it worked on your PC.

<edit> Please get the updated files from the next post </edit>

I've extracted it in the C:\MSN Shell Extension folder and imported the registry file, restarted my computer and when I right-click a file (one that's located on my desktop) the computer starts rambling for a few seconds and the extra send-to functions are not there

I'm running Windows XP Pro sp1 and have .NET Framework 1.1 installed... Messenger Client 6.2.0133 and Messenger Plus! 3.00.0092

i installed it and im gonna restartr my comp inothin has nappened so far but thas gd and bad also

Hmm, this *should* work. Make sure your Windows Messenger is also up to date. Rename it to *.msi. Forum won't let me upload msi files.
