Overall good, but some sample codes crash in Win2K ...

I particularly like the Shell Extension part which is very
useful to understand somthing more advanced in Windows Shell.

However, what disappoints me is that I found the sample codes from
Chap 11 (Both sample projects DemoSpace and RegSpace) crash in
machines running Win2K. This means that if you want to use the
techniques taught from the book to implement a Shell Extension
by VB, you can only support platforms below Win2K. That will not
be much useful at all.

As far as I know, the author has not yet figured a solution
(through private communications with Orielly's book support).
