Customized windows Explorer button

[Sharon]

Hi all

I want to add my own button to windows explorer toolbar



I found a very easy way to add a button to IE bar

http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/04/26/ie_buttons.html

(No programming needed)



Is there any easy way to add button to the windows explorer?

If not, is it possible to add the button using C# or I will have to dig into
MFC /C++ ?



Thank you

Sharon

Re: Customized windows Explorer button

I attempted to do something similar and got it to work, kinda. It requires implementing unmanged interfaces and alot of Interop.
There were many things I wanted to add to my "button", but the implementation requirements of OLE were too overwhelming and not
worth the effort.

Good luck!
