Will,
There is a very small utility about 37KB called ShellExView, but it's not
from Microsoft.
Check the link http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html you might like it.
Does Microsoft have any utility in its various Resource Toolkits to view
shell extensions? I have a shell extension on one computer that is
preventing Explorer from terminating, and when I try to logout I get a
modal error dialog from "Proxy Desktop"
