Extension not showing?
Does the sample extension(s) that come with the installation work?
If yes, then the issue is within your project. Continue reading below for other potential solutions.
Is the extension properly registered?
When you register the extension from the command line, do you get any error message?
For Vista or higher, also see INFO: Registering/unregistering and debugging namespace extensions on Windows Vista or higher
Is the extension getting loaded?
You can test this by putting a MessageBox.Show in the constructor, then restart explorer, rebuild project and test your extension again.
Are any exceptions being thrown?
See INFO: Using debugging to track potential problems.
Using Windows 7?
By default, a namespace extension will not show in the tree view (left side) of Windows Explorer. See INFO: Display namespace extension in the tree view (left side) of Windows Explorer in Windows 7
Extension not working as expected?
Is the corresponding functionality in our sample(s) working?
If so, there is probably some minor issue with your code. See the very useful topic 'Most common errors...' in the help file. |
