G'Day,

I am writing a shell extension and have followed the demo in the ActiveX\ShellExt
directory. However it appears that my context menu only appears when I right mouse
click on DPR file. I would like it to work for any of the following scenarios:

- No files selected
- Once file selected
- Multiple files selected
- All the above should directories be invlolved in the selection

Irrespective of file name and extension. I cannot for the life of me see what is causing
the DPR restriction. I even removed the following IF test which was in the demo with no
success:

  if ((AuFlags and $0000000F) = CMF_NORMAL) or
      ((AuFlags and CMF_EXPLORE) <> 0) then

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

TIA
