Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
form1.MenuStrip1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)

How can I invoke the standard Windows Shell Context menu for a file orfolder from vb.net?
View 3 RepliesIve created a shell context menu dll using the great example at [url]...
This dll can be included in a vb.net setup project and installs ok but upon uninstall Windows prompts the user to close explorer.exe for the uninstall to complete. If the user clicks ok then the windows GUI is lost and the user either needs to reboot or know how to run task manager and startup another instance of explorer.exe to get their desktop back.
Does anyone know how to go about uninstalling a context menu dll which is currently in use by explorer without ending the explorer.exe process.
I have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.

I have a VB2008 music-player program with a listview that acts as a playlist. I created Windows Shell Context Menu entries in the registry for MP3 etc files, so if I right-click such a file in Windows Explorer it gives the option: Play in MyProg. If multiple files are selected in Windows Explorer and sent to be played in MyProg, the first one must be sent to the music player (part of same prog) and the others must be added to the playlist (listview). For this reason I must know whether a commandline call is just a single one or whether other context menu calls will follow.

I've been told you can do this using the Shell command, however I'm running into trouble with double quotes.As the Shell command syntax is Shell("codecodecode"), I'm not sure what to do when the batch file already contains quotes.
For example, how would I use the code:
copy "file location" "destination"

Dim Location As String = "UNC_Path_Goes_Here"
Dim Options As String = "/Options go here"
