ShellExView v2.01 64bit

Shell Extensions are in-process COM objects which extend the abilities of Windows operating system. Most shell extensions are automatically installed by the operating system, but there are also many other applications that install additional shell extension components. For example: If you install WinZip on your computer, you'll see a special WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file. This menu is created by adding a shell extension to the system.

The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable each shell extension.

ShellExView can be used for solving context-menu problems in Explorer environment. For more information, read the following article: Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

Disable/Enable Shell Extensions
The ShellExView utility allows you to disable and enable the shell extensions components on your system. In order to disable or enable a shell extension item, select the desired item, and from the File menu (or from the pop-up menu) select the appropriate option - "Enable Selected Items" or "Disable Selected Items".
Here's 2 examples of useful things that you can do with this feature:

Context Menu: Some applications, like WinZip, CuteFTP, and others, add some items to the context menu when you right-click on a file in explorer window. If you disable the appropriate shell extension, you won't get these additional menu items.
In order to locate the desired shell extension item:
Sort the extensions list by the "Type" column and look at all "Context Menu" items.
Search the application that creates the menu you want to disable. The icon near each item can help to locate the desired shell extension.
Shell Folder: When you enter into some special folders like "History" and "Temporary Internet Files", you don't see the real file system, but the a virtual folder that the shell extension create for you. If you want to watch the real file system inside "History" or "Temporary Internet Files", you can disable the appropriate shell extension items.

Sending report to shellfix.nirsoft.net
If you solved a problem by disabling a shell extension in your Explorer, and you want to share it with others, you can use the 'Send Report To ShellFix' option to publish the information in https://shellfix.nirsoft.net. You can find full instructions about how to send a report in the main page of https://shellfix.nirsoft.net Web site.

Add/Remove special folders to "My Computer" and "Desktop" folders
Some special shell folders like "Printers", "Recycle Bin", "Scheduled Tasks", "Network and Dial-up Connections", "Mobile Device", and others can be added (and be removed) to "My Computer", "Desktop", and even to "Control Panel" (Only in Windows 2000) by using the ShellExView utility.
For Example: Under Windows 2000, you can add the "Printers", "Recycle Bin", and "Scheduled Tasks" folders to "My Computer". In order to do that, select the item that you want to add or remove (You can only use "Shell Folder" items) and from the File menu, select the appropriate add/remove option.
Be aware that there are some shell folders that cannot be added to "My Computer" or "Desktop" folders. For example: adding the "Administrative Tools" folder to "My Computer" won't work properly as you might expect.

Mark Suspicious Shell Extensions
Most shell extensions use standard file extensions (.dll, .ocx or .cpl) as well as they usually don't turn on their system attribues (read-only/hidden/system). If ShellExView detect shell extension with unusual file extension or with unusual attribute (e.g: shell extension dll that is marked as hidden in the file system), it'll be marked in red color. It's recommended to deeply check these unusual shell extensions to insure that they are not unwanted malicious programs that penetrated into your system.

Command-line options
/stext <Filename> Save the list of shell extensions into a regular text file.
/stab <Filename> Save the list of shell extensions into a tab-delimited text file.
/scomma <Filename> Save the list of shell extensions into a comma-delimited text file.
/stabular <Filename> Save the list of shell extensions into a tabular text file.
/shtml <Filename> Save the list of shell extensions into HTML file.
/sverhtml <Filename> Save the list of shell extensions into vertical HTML file.
/sxml <Filename> Save the list of shell extensions into XML file.
/NoLoadSettings Run ShellExView without loading your last settings. (window position, columns size, etc. )
/wow64 On x64 systems, load ShellExView for using with 32-bit applications.
/external <Windows Directory> <User Profile Folder (Optional)> Run ShellExView on external instance of Windows operating system. This option can be useful when you have Windows operating system that cannot boot properly. The <User Profile Folder> parameter is optional. If you don't specify it, ShellExView won't load extensions lists that are stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Example:
shexview.exe /external "k:\windows" "k:\Documents and Settings\Administrator"
/remote < \\ComputerName > Use ShellExView with the shell extensions of a remote computer on your network. You must have full administrator access on the remote computer in order to use this feature.

If you fail to connect the remote computer with ShellExView, read the instructions in the following Blog post:
How to connect a remote Windows 7/Vista/XP computer with NirSoft utilities.
/disable <CLSID> Disables the specified shell extension. You should specify the exact CLSID value that you see in the CLSID column, for example:
shexview.exe /disable {120B94B5-2E6A-4F13-94D0-414BCB64FA0F}
/enable <CLSID> Enables the specified shell extension. You should specify the exact CLSID value that you see in the CLSID column, for example:
shexview.exe /enable {120B94B5-2E6A-4F13-94D0-414BCB64FA0F}

Translating ShellExView to other languages
In order to translate ShellExView to other language, follow the instructions below:

Run ShellExView with /savelangfile parameter:
shexview.exe /savelangfile
A file named shexview_lng.ini will be created in the folder of ShellExView utility.
Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text editor.
Translate all string entries to the desired language. Optionally, you can also add your name and/or a link to your Web site. (TranslatorName and TranslatorURL values) If you add this information, it'll be used in the 'About' window.
After you finish the translation, Run ShellExView, and all translated strings will be loaded from the language file.
If you want to run ShellExView without the translation, simply rename the language file, or move it to another folder.
