Are there any known restrictions to use the IE menu extention under Vista?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt

My app adds to IE menu extra menu, which works fine under WinXP.
In Vista the menu is still there but there is not action when clicked on it.
The action involves starting my app (executable) with the trailing
parameter.
Your comments please,
Jack
 
Did you enable it as an addin in IE?

Also, I assume your created a CLSID for it and then entered all of the necessary info in
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
 
Steve, can you elaborate more on addins in IE?
My app is the outside application. And it does not interact with IE.
What the menu extention does, it only starts (or pop ups) my app. IE is
oblivious to my app and vice versa.
And it works fine in IE 7 in WinXP.
What is different with Vista?
