Shell (Namespace) Extension won't register, what am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I have created a Namespace Extension (I hope so) by creating a ATL Project with MFC support as dll in Visual Studio 2010.

Now I have a Implementation of IShellFolder:

Code:

---

// ILCShellFolder.h: Deklaration von CILCShellFolder

#pragma once
#include "resource.h"      // Hauptsymbole



#include "NewNSE_i.h"



#if defined(_WIN32_WCE) && !defined(_CE_DCOM) && !defined(_CE_ALLOW_SINGLE_THREADED_OBJECTS_IN_MTA)
#error "Singlethread-COM-Objekte werden auf der Windows CE-Plattform nicht vollständig unterstützt. Windows Mobile-Plattformen bieten beispielsweise keine vollständige DCOM-Unterstützung. Definieren Sie _CE_ALLOW_SINGLE_THREADED_OBJECTS_IN_MTA, um ATL zu zwingen, die Erstellung von Singlethread-COM-Objekten zu unterstützen und die Verwendung eigener Singlethread-COM-Objektimplementierungen zu erlauben. Das Threadmodell in der RGS-Datei wurde auf 'Free' festgelegt, da dies das einzige Threadmodell ist, das auf Windows CE-Plattformen ohne DCOM unterstützt wird."
#endif

using namespace ATL;


// CILCShellFolder

class ATL_NO_VTABLE CILCShellFolder :
        public CComObjectRootEx<CComSingleThreadModel>,
        public CComCoClass<CILCShellFolder, &CLSID_ILCShellFolder>,

Not any of those IShellFolder Methods is being called...
When I attach the explorer.exe process (which I know I can use to debug on other projects, just in case to exclude errors) it tells me that the DLL is not loaded by the explorer.exe process. What am I doing wrong? Can you please help me?




Kind regards,
Michael

I've found it out...thank you anyway!

Code:

    NoRemove Software

        NoRemove Microsoft
        {
            NoRemove Windows

                {
                    NoRemove Explorer
                    {
