Anybody have an idea how to achieve/use these?

Not sure what you mean here, You can put COM components into an MTS Package. Which would be a similar concept to a category.
HKCR\CLSID\{XXXX-128BIT GUIDS-XXX}\Implemented Categories\
In c++, com understands the concept of categories. The question is, is there any way for vb to plug into that mechanism (maybe plugging into the rot table...).

Anyone?

Still no ideas on this one?

I've not had need or reason to slice and dice scum or spam via code to the RegDb for COM+, as the MMC catalog manager/com services admin tools have thus far served my needs. But since no one else has yet taken a shot, I'll adds my free two bits (read, if you don't like the suggestions, ask for a full refund)...
ATL comes to mind first. Would the simplest way be to add the extra keys and values with a registry script (.rgs) file generated by the ATL Object Wizard? Maybe that's to C++...
That not seeming reasonable, the articles at http://local.15seconds.com/Issue/010212.htm
and http://local.15seconds.com/Issue/991118.htm might have a few good ideas to help you.
I see where you're coming from, but this is not com+.
You're right about the .rgs business, but that is the whole issue we're trying to avoid.
We have a bunch of ATL components that under stand categories (i think code runs in the atl component during registration process) and also a bunch of vb components. At the moment we have to install the vb categories by hand (or a script), but when the guid's change etc, it's a pain.
So i suppose the question should be, is there any way to run some code when you regsvr32 or /regserver ?
I doubt it, but you never know.
