IrfanView shell Extension is a free shell Extension Dll that adds the ability to call some IrfanView functions from within the windows Explorer.

When you often need to restart the windows shell (Windows Explorer), you know what a hassle it can be to do it the "official" way. And so do we. That is why we have created ShellDispenser; a small utility that will make restarting the windows shell that much easier.

In the old days, you needed to use Task Manager to kill off windows Explorer the hard way (which is the improper way by the way). An alternative was to use the "Turn off computer" screen, but that is even more cumbersome. ShellDispenser on the other hand allows you to restart your shell with the press of a key! If restarting the shell is a part of your job, then ShellDispenser is the tool you have been looking for!

Some characteristics of ShellDispenser are:
* Close, start and restart the shell with the press of a key
* Which keys to use is fully customizable
* Good on-line help support
* Closes the shell the proper way (i.e. not by brutely terminating the process)
* All shell operations can be performed from the command line for easy integration in scripts
* Can be hidden in the notification area to make some room on your screen
* Very small application size

Give your applications windows Explorer features with the shell Controls ActiveX.

Debugging of shell extensions is a simple process. Its general principes are described in the article "Debugging shell Extensions Using Delphi" on our website. But some things still made developers "unhappy". They are:

* DLLs are locked by applications (for caching purposes) and you are unable to recompile your project
* You need to use Registry Editor to modify hidden windows shell setting
* Sometimes you dont have access to some Explorer features while debugging your shell Extension

shell Reset Tool was developed to solve these problems. It is useful to any shell Extension developer, not depending on what he used to develop and debug shell extensions (Borland Delphi, Microsoft Visual Studio or any other environment).

shell Reset features:

* Restart and shutdown windows Explorer
* Control windows Explorer debugging settings
* Manage tasks without Explorer Task Bar
* More useful features will be available soon
