I'm storing a list of filenames in a string list (TTntStringList). It's sorted and case insensitive. The default sort routine uses CompareStringW(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, NORM_IGNORECASE, ...) to compare stri...
I want to have a small app to add and remove user defined context menu entries from the registry. To make this somehow I need to get the CLSID of an arbitrary DLL so I can back up previous entries if they exist and then write new ones. Although regsrv32 somehow manages to create this magical number, I didn't find any answer with google. ...

I'm the only developer working in a very small company. I currently use VisualSVN on Windows on my development machine as my VCS. This is problematic because I can't get to my projects outside the IT firewall, and my colleague can't integrate his content into my projects. We (my PM, who develops content for me) are very interested in a...
Hello All, Is there a way to gain access to the Windows Explorer shell context menus for files & folders without using a complete Explorer drop-in control? The gist of my plight is this: I have a Viewport3D that displays a handful of raw files & folders. Basically, it's like every other 3d explorer replacement you've ever seen :) W...
