Introduction
Have you ever wanted to register dll files from Explorer? DLL files that export the
DllRegisterServer
and
DllUnregisterServer
(as COM dll files do) can easily be controlled from the Explorer while selected. You can register/unregister it as seen in the image above. To enable this feature add subkeys to the registy under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell as in the following:
Registry Editor
RegSvr32
UnregSvr32

function to allow pages on that server to access its functions
