Chapter 16. Windows Shell Programming
IN THIS CHAPTER
First introduced in Windows 95, the Windows shell is also supported on all subsequent Windows versions (NT 3.51 and higher, 98, 2000, Me, and XP). A far cry from the old Program Manger, the Windows shell includes some great features for extending the shell to meet your needs. The problem is, many of these nifty extensible features are some of the most poorly documented subjects of Win32 development. This chapter is intended to give you the information and examples you need to tap into shell features such as tray-notification icons, application desktop toolbars, shell links, and shell extensions.
