How to Add a Custom Find Utility to the Start Menu?

[Jacky]

Hello,

I serach the KB and find Q135986:

The first step to registering a custom Find utility is to implement a shell
context menu extension that supplies the menu item. The handler's
IContextMenu::InvokeCommand() member will be called whenever the user
selects the custom Find utility on the Start Menu.

I wonder how to do this step in VB. Thanks.

Thank you. But I wonder was the fesample.dll in the sample created in VB?
How can I create the ID such as {684D9951-575C-11D3-81C5-E0430DD0DD7B} for
my own ActiveX DLL ?

Thanks
Jacky

The CLSID is created by VB when you compile the DLL. You can view it using
OleView or by searching in the registry after the DLL is registered.
