g3-dllfile.inf

g3-dllfile.inf

I spend a lot of time registering files, unregistering files, hexing files, checking dependancies of files, you get the picture. I decided to make an inf to speed up these functions. It's only a beginning, eventually i want to add the msdn sample code that let's you display file dependancies by moving your mouse of a file.

To use this inf, simply right click on it and select install. If you want to uninstall it, right click on it and select uninstall. Typically, you cannot uninstall .inf files, however i added a special feature to this inf so you can uninstall it easily.

Once installed, when you right click on a .dll file you can:

1 - Open file in hex editor

2 - Open file in depends

3 - Register file silently (no prompts)

4 - Unregister file silently (no prompts)

This inf also changed the 'openwith' dialog box you get for .dll files. By default, this inf will cause .dll files to open in a hex editor, so you wont see this change. However, if you uninstall this inf by default it wont remove the 'openwith' code (if you want to completely remove this inf remove the semi-colon under [uninstall]. With this inf, the 'openwith' dialog box has changed text that you can modify in the .inf.

I know this .inf isn't rocket science, it's simply something i made to speed up things on my computer. I am constantly working on different projects that will eventually wind up in something bigger, this is just a piece of the pie. This .inf is also a good example of how to edit HKCR\.dll, or HKCR\folder, or HKCR\directory, you get the idea.

For more information consult the .inf file.
