QuestionWriting My Own: Windows Desktop Shell Pin

Hello,

I want to create my own Windows XP Desktop Shell, preferably using C# or C but will use C++ Unsure | :~ if given no choice, substituting it for 'Explorer.exe'. Are there any good online resources to help me with this? I googled around and only commericial products came up. I did find some opensource shell replacements on WIKI though; Emerge Desktop, Geoshell, LDE(X), LiteShell, LiteStep, SharpE, bbLean, xoblite, ROS Explorer and I will download those and check'em out too. But a nice informative reference would be nice too to go with those programs.

What started this little task is that I thought it would be nice if the right click menu items that I often used appeared as a task in the "File and Folder Tasks" in the "Windows Common Tasks pane in folders". After rearching how to do this, I found that one could write their own shell pretty neat !Smile | :) , however, unfortunitately, I didn't find any information on how to do this. Needless to say, I want write my own "Desktop Shell" and add that feature to it in my spare time.

Please don't flame me like was done on another programmer site, that shall remain nameless. If i break my personal computer OMG | :OMG: I will reinstall the OS WTF | :WTF: . If I find it too difficult to do OMG | :OMG: then perhaps I will go to a movie instead Poke tongue | ;-P . But I think that I will not be frightened by the task. Wink | ;)

PS: if there is a better forum in which to ask this question feel free to direct me their!

Thanks guys! Big Grin | :-D
