When I add my context menu shell extension to AllFileSystemObjects, Windows displays my submenu twice when I right-click on a shortcut. The submenu appears only once on all other "file system objects" I've tried so far. I can work around this by adding my shell extension to * and Directories instead, but I want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong in the shell extension code itself. Thanks!
The shell has a default context menu handler for shortcuts that adds the menu items for the shortcut target, so I assume your extension is getting called twice - once for the .LNK file and once for the target file itself. You could use the * and Directory method as you say, or simply don't add anything for a .lnk file.
