Re: Explorer.exe not working in Vista for namespace extension
Prakash,
I installed it directly under desktop. And doing so worked in XP. But I will
try desktop/my computer. If it works, I don't mind installing the namespace
extension in my computer as opposed to desktop.

Re: Explorer.exe not working in Vista for namespace extension
Prakash,
I moved my NSE to "My Computer" and tried what you suggested. This time
around I did not see any errors, but things are not as perfect as I hoped.
The right pane (i.e. the list view) lists the content of the NSE correctly.
But the right pane, the Folders tree, is not properly configured. It simply
displays everything under Desktop.
The normal behaviour should be as follows:
1. The NSE folder is displayed as the root folder in the Folders tree
2. The NSE folder is expanded to show its subfolders.
At the very minimum, the Folders tree should select the Folder of the NSE
and expand all ancestor folders of the NSE.
After doing some more research about this issue, I'm fully convinced this is
a bug in vista. There are a bunch of links talk about this issue. For example,
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/29121437/vista-bindtoobject-calle.aspx
Moreover, mounting an NSE in desktop should work per the current
documentation on MSDN:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776818(VS.85).aspx
To illustrate to you there is nothing wrong with my NSE, try opening "My
Computer" in rooted view. i.e.
explorer.exe /e,/root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
You will get the same error I got.
