What if wanted to make my shell something as simple as an .EXE, say BOB.exe.
(No archived references to bespecled smiley faces please). I would add the
Shell Prototype Component, but if BOB.EXE has no other referenced files
(DLLs or INFs) how would I be able to componentize it to give it the
prototype declarations? (Of course, I am ASSuming that you would import
BOB.EXE somehow into component designer and set the declarations there.) If
I am incorrect, someone please set me straight. - Thanks
 
You would create a custom component and set it's prototype to Shell
Prototype Component. You could then add files/regs/etc. to that component.
 
Steve,

I am sorry but I could not get quite your question.
What is the problem to create your own custom component (using Component
Designer), include your bob.exe file in to the component file list and
select 'Shell prototype component' under the Prototype field (component
properties panel)?

Spoke too soon. I did find a "dandy" article on MSDN on shell prototype
component. I will try that, then complain :)
