Nice set of articles that are long over due! I have a question that a bit more along the lines of the first article that has to do with the verb to invoke.

I have found that depending on the IShellFolder executing the "verb" string can lead to results that are different than if you execute the same through explorer. I can't recall the exact example but I found that if I take the requested "verb" to execute and compare it to what I get back from GetCommandString and if equal (i.e. it is a common verb) I then instead of setting lpVerb to the "verb" I use MakeIntResource to set lpVerb I get consistent results with Explorer. Can you elaborate on that more?

The only note in my code I put was this:

{The result of using the 'verb' string and the MakeIntResource is different expecially on system folders. This forces it to use MakeIntResource if it can}

Why doesn't the Shutdown dialog use Alt to get alternate behavior?

Because Alt already has other meaning.
