Ah, I missed a detail. When you submit your work, pair the new string together with the old ones so I know what to change.
Also, speaking of the shell...
I've been working a little on it and so far I've managed to add a context menu! But there's more goodies to be found...
The ability to pop up a little infotip when the user is hovering over a file. That could be used to display the contents of a command since they are now file based.
What about a new tab besides the general one in the properties?
How about adding a new column in detailed mode with some info about the commands?
I could also add an action when a user drags and drop a file with the right-click.
...And much more, I suppose. You can take what you like here, and we'll see if I can get it working!
Btw, with the new implemtation, you will not be able to target non-filesystem objects like the recycle bin or my computer. It works! It works! If this gets done in time, I suppose I could easily put it in 1.0 as well!

YES!
That's EXACTLY what I wanted to hear! I just figured it was beyond reach, but... hell yes, Doom.
This text string stuff is actually... a fairly big job. Hah, I had thought it was just a few strings, but... oooh no.
I'm using a .txt in any case, that'll I'll submit to you along with your originals. As an advance warning... I've ditched the "master" tag ;'( ...
...I KNOW, I know... I'm being a miserable bastard here. But for all the hard work that you've done coding this thing, and I've done with testing and the other stuff, I think people should take Quicklinks seriously as a brilliant little tool like it is, and I think people might not see it as a professional-quality utility if it's calling the user a master etc. I guess it's ultimately up to you, but... I mean I for one reckon it'd make more sense to have the text look the same as other similar programs.
Aside from that, in terms of incorporating the ideas you've talked about there into v1.0, I realise that some are dependent on others, but maybe focussing on one area at a time will yield the best results, at least for the v1.0 build? The context stuff is *fantastic*, but the extra functionality you've been talking about in other areas might bring teething troubles. I guess the advice here would be to save a total build with primarily the context situation sorted, give it up for testing, *then* have further projects saved with the new features. If they work, they can be thrown into the v1.0 release like you say, and if not... we can save them for a rainy day, right?
Anyway, back to the text strings for moi... should have them sorted tomorrow along with the preliminary readme (subject to the inclusion of those added features!). Icons I'll leave 'till last.
Damned good work here in any case. This thing needs to be a success, and it will be. It's shaping up to be nigh-on perfect.

Those "extra" things are just for fun and to extend my reach into the OS. But they won't make it for the 1.0 release, I think, only the true context-menu implemtation. The rest is for 1.1.
As for the strings, drop the master or not, I don't care one way or another - so that's up to you.
Now all I have to do here, is to move the code from the application over to the dll and limit it to selecting only one file (since 1.1 supports multiple run commands in each command file, multiple file selection would be a fine addition, but not for 1.0).
This shouldn't take long! Tomorrow I'll probably have a test build ready. Keep working on the strings and the icons!

Will do.
Alas, I'm afraid this one isn't a social call; there's another God-damned bug infested in this thing. Try to add another command to the command list, then click or double click the space in between the new command on the list and the command above/below it - it should be a clear grey area. The program totally crashes and closes. Bizarre...?!

Bizzare, indeed. But fixed.
This new build fixes the bug, and includes the new shell integration also.
Also added some fixes to try to remove the annoying selected tree items (two items should never be selected at the same time).
Don't forget to remove the old integration:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Keyword It!
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Keyword It!
I don't need to tell you to make a backup, just in case.
The new version will now remove or add the old integration, so be sure to remove it and it's gone forever!
...But the new version works just fine and adds more registry entries as well
Oh, and... here are new string related to shell integration:
ErrBox("Shell registration failed because Shell.dll was not found in current directory.\nPlease reinstall Quicklinks.", this);
MessageBox(GetActiveWindow(), "You cannot keyword multiple files at once. Select one file, then try again.", Title, MB_ICONERROR);
ErrBox("Uh-oh! It seems that you have incompatible version of the shell dll and program file.\nPlease reinstall Quicklinks to make sure you have compatible files!", this);
ErrBox("Unable to load library Shell.dll. Please try to reinstall Quicklinks.", this);
ErrBox("Unable to find function DllRegisterServer in Shell.dll.\nFile is corrupt, please reinstall Quicklinks.", this);
ErrBox("Failed to register Shell.dll. DllRegisterServer returned an error.\nSee error log for more information.", this);
ErrBox("Unable to find function DllUnregisterServer in Shell.dll.\nFile is corrupt, please reinstall Quicklinks.", this);
ErrBox("Failed to unregister Shell.dll. DllUnregisterServer returned an error.\nSee error log for more information.", this);
PutLogEntry("FAILED to unregister Shell.dll. DllUnregisterServer returned error code: ", hr);
PutLogEntry("FAILED to register Shell.dll. DllRegisterServer returned error code: ", hr);
PutLogEntry("FAILED to load Shell.dll library, because of error: ", GetLastError());
m_ToolTip.AddTool(&m_chkRegisterWithShell, "Master, if you check this option, a command named \"Register\" will appear on the context menu of every file. Selecting it allow you to register a command with that file or folder.\n\nBut remember, Master! This option will appear on every file, and with files where there is no command associated, this will become the default command!\n\nRecommended: No");
---CHANGED TO---
m_ToolTip.AddTool(&m_chkRegisterWithShell, "By checking this, a new submenu, \"Quicklinks\" will appear when you right-click files in explorer. From the sub-menu, you can select \"Keyword It!\" to add a file as a command without using the command manager.");
All the "recommended" was removed from the tooltips.
So, two question.
1) Should we keep the sounds for the final release? I know they're comical and all, but they are kind of old and contans the despised "master" word you so hate I could redo them, but they would still be experimental. They could be added as optional.
2) How are you actually going to do with support? Especially when the real testing beings. Are you intending to post reports here or elsewhere, or through mail or something? And what of when it goes live, where to report bugs, features or common support?

Hey-hey...
Like the new context menu stuff - seems to work like a dream!
I've added those strings to the list, and I'm almost done with them now. If I finish later tonight I'll post the changes strings straight away, although I might not have access to a PC later this evening, so it might need to wait 'till tomorrow.
As for the sounds... *personally* I think it'd be better to remove the whole sounds concept from the program for the v1.0 release, *then* think about them in v1.1 and beyond... they just seem like an unrequired complication (read: something else to get trashed). So yeah, disabling them/removing the option from the Options dialogue would be best as far as I'm concerned for v1.0.
With regard to the support and testing situation, I could begin giving you more advanced bug reports through email or private messages if you'd prefer (though 'till then I'll post another one on here a bit later ;D). And the post-release side of things? I reckon a dedicated website. That'd allow for user feedback, notes, etc etc...
What do you reckon? Report to follow...

I have mostly integrated your new strings, but you should take a more closer look at these:
Once you fix these strings, I'll re-add them and post a new build.
I also have... a site: http://www.eluni.net
And I put up a forum for feedback and for the testing-cycle and post-release: http://www.eluni.net/vbulletin/index.php
You might check out the forums and point out what you think needs be done.
Code:
ErrBox("An error occured while executing the Quicklink entered.\nSee the 'error.log' file for further details.", this);
---NOTE---
This error appears when it fails to select the selected folder of file when browsing. SHould it not be displayed like something else?
ErrBox("The Quicklink specified could not be found in the list. Please re-open this screen and try again.", this);
---NOTE---
When you try to replace a quicklink that is already existing with another, the program will attempt to find the quicklinks name in the list. If it cannot find it, then this error is displayed. The program will still replace your existing command, but the dialog itself will not be updated with the new details of the command.
ErrBox("The Quicklink could not be added to the list but was saved to the registry.\nAn unknown error occurred.");
ErrBox("The Quicklink could not be added to the list but was saved to the registry.\nAn unknown error occurred.");
---NOTE---
Is it wise to merely specify that the list was saved to the registry? The end user may have no idea if the command was saved or not, because the end user does not know the internal working of the program. Suffice to say, the command WAS saved, but the it COULD NOT be added to the list. Closing and re-opening the dialog would solve that.
ErrBox("The Quicklink list could not be accessed. Any changes made won't be listed until this screen is re-opened.", this);
---NOTE---
Same here: this error occours when the program cannot find the quicklink name in the list, thus it is unable to update the information in the list. Closing and re-opening the dialog should solve that.
ErrBox("The Quicklink entered does not exist. It cannot be modifier. Use \"Add\" instead.", this);
---NOTE---
The original "modifier" was a typo by me. I changed it to "modified," as it should be.
ErrBox("Failed to open the 'Manage Quicklinks' screen. Terminating...");
ErrBox("Failed to open the 'Manage Quicklinks' screen. Terminating...");
ErrBox("Failed to open the 'Options' screen. Terminating...");
ErrBox("Failed to open the 'Options' screen. Terminating...");
---NOTE---
These errors occours when the program fails to create these dialogs. I suggest they should be reset to what they were, or to display "failed to create dialog X; terminating..."
ExclBox("The Quicklink specified could not be found in the list.\nChoose from the following similar Quicklinks by selecting one and pressing 'OK' to execute it, or click 'Cancel' to cancel the operation.", &dlg);
---CHANGED TO---
ExclBox("The Quicklink specified could not be found in the list.\nChoose from the following similar Quicklinks by selecting one and pressing 'OK' to execute it, or click 'Cancel' to cancel the operation.", &dlg);
InfoBox("Most Quicklinks settings have now been reset within the registry. The rest will be reset when you click 'OK'.", this);
---CHANGED TO---
InfoBox("Most Quicklinks settings have now been reset within the registry. The rest will be reset when you click 'OK'.", this);
m_ToolTip.AddTool(&m_treeCommands, "All previously saved Quicklinks are shown within this list. Double-click a Quicklink or click next to its corresponding bar to edit it.");
---NOTE---
This is wrong. You cannot edit an item directly in the tree (that will be available in the next version). You can only see the details of the quicklinks if you click the plus sign or double-click on it.
m_ToolTip.AddTool(&m_chkStartWithWindows, "Enables Quicklinks to load every time the computer is switched on.");
---NOTE---
Correction: Every time WINDOWS is started?Once you fix these strings, I'll re-add them and post a new build.

nice job on the site, by the way. i'm thinking perhaps quicklinks can have a dedicated page/website to itself if it becomes sufficiently popular. that would allow for, say, a welcome/"splash" screen, an f.a.q., forums etc, etc. i would obviously help out with this, although perhaps for now it's best to concenrate on finishing v1.0 etc before turning attention toward the site?
regardless, i'll have a brief bug report for you later...

hey again,
as for the others, i can't find the original threads unfortunately. i'm sure they'll appear in time, but for now i'm totally at a loss! sorry
in any case, i suppose now the most crucial issue is the icon set, then the readme file. there are some areas of the readme that i won't be able to complete until i have a *final* build of quicklinks, though, so i suppose whenever we get to that stage i'll send a finished readme.
i have few sets of icons; i'm trying to figure which will suit quicklinks best!
i hope things are going well on the coding front, anyway, and, as ever, i look forward to the next beta!

There is no next beta unless you report a bug. If you have nothing more to report, then it is time for the big test.

Concidering you haven't replied, I can only assume that 1) you've missed this reply or 2) you are having reasons that keeps you offline. Either way, things stand still. Since I don't know your connections, I cannot start any testing or do anything else until you get back.
Unless you have another bug or suggestion or change to make, there isn't really much to do but do a big-scale test. Of course, still waiting for the icons and the documentation.
Advise on what you want to do.

AAARRRGH...
...As you can probably guess, I've had no access to the internet for a variety of reasons. Chief amongst them being that I'm now at university, but my computer wasn't brought down here until yesterday - and then it needed configuring with the network/proxies etc.
All I can do is apologise for not replying sooner - this past week has been fairly insane.
ANYWAY, I'm the bearer of bad news:
The error:
"The procedure entry point RegisterNewCommand could not be located in the dynamic library Quicklinks.dll."
is encountered when I try to load Shell.exe manually.
Quicklinks NEEDS Shell.exe to properly register Quicklinks made with the right-hand shortcuts. I think that Shell.exe should be fixed and bundled with Quicklinks again, and ran simultaneously with Quicklinks upon start-up. Shell.exe should also automatically be loaded when Windows starts, even if the user specifies to have Quicklinks not do this. This is so that right-clicked Quicklinks work when the program isn't active.
Aside from that, it *seems* to be bug-free. If you get back to me about that, and possibly supply me with another / latest build, we can probably move on to the final full-scale test.
It's good to be back! Oh, and I'll give you the icons tomorrow.

I thought as much.Xade said:
Shell.exe should by now be deprecated. All the shell code is contained within shell.dll. Delete Shell.exe and try to do shell right-clicking again. If shell.exe is launcher by the right-click command, then it means you have old entries left in the registry. Delete them! Let the application (Quicklinks) register the shell.dll library to enable right-clicking in explorer.ANYWAY, I'm the bearer of bad news:

Hey again,
I unregistered EVERYTHING, then started from scratch - it seemed to cure the Shell.exe issue.
However, I've encountered another, when not using shell.exe - websites can't be keyworded. Instead, I'm told Quicklinks can't find the file/folder, despite it being a valid URL.
Any ideas?
I suppose we should clear all of these niggles before we start the big test...
EDIT: The URL I'm trying to Quicklink is: 'https://webmailimpa.dur.ac.uk/'.
