Hi,

    I read several posts regarding the customization of folder.htt (and the
rest of the templates), which does not work in W2K SP3 and WXP SP1. There is
for example a product, webwiev: http://vebwiev.tripod.com which is waiting
for a solution from Microsoft to solve the htt signature problem. There is
no documentation regarding the htt signing process. I must also customize
a template (smartf.htt, located in [program files]\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Web Folders\1033\WebView\).
Although it works on W2K SP2 and WXP, I have no
chance make it work after installing the latest service packs.
    I tried to find a way to sign the file and I found an undocumented
function in shlwapi.dll: SHRegisterValidateTemplate. Can anybody tell me
what is that function good for? And what ar its parameters ?
    Or, what is the procedure of signing a htt file ???

Thanks,
