    Smile create Infotips shell extension with VB

    I want to create a Infotips shell extension with VB.
    Infotips are the tooltip windows shown by explorer
    when hovering over a file (.doc, .xls, ...)

    I have allready found a sample @ http://www.domaindlx.com/e_morcillo/
    but I don't get it running, as opposed to
    a couple of C++ samples.

    Can You help?

    I got it! The Infotips Shell Extension sample from http://www.domaindlx.com/e_morcillo/ works.

    The problem was a wrong GUID {42B57838-F038-11D3-9876-CC8E300AB73F} in the infotip.inf, it should be {F33837C0-C650-488B-AE12-9E8CEA898CB}.

    Maybe there was a previous version with this GUID.

    I found that by manually registering the sample DLL using regsvr32.exe, then I searched the registry for it's filename.
