Creating a Windows Shell...

I'm looking into Programming my own Windows shell (Like Explorer.exe and Progman.exe) But have found no resources explaining any way to do anything...

For example...
I need to be able to...
1) Dock toolbars to the Desktop (Dialog Bars and Flat Toolbars)...
2) Run Programs
3) Run Control Panel progrrams or at Least Display the CPL List for a Conifuration Menu
4) Set up a Right click menu for the Desktop

I would like to be able to...
a) Control the LFN naming but I don't think that this is Shell controled?

I think that #1 may be linked somehow with OpenDesktop/CreateDesktop But I have no Idea how this works or is manipulated or how to get a *Cwnd to it.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
