Re: Bug in MFC?

An application can register a shell file handler DLL. This handler will be
invoked when mouse cursor hovers over that file type. It's supposed to
analyze the file and return tooltip string. Those shell handlers invoked
not only inside explorer.exe, but also inside other applications when they
create a folder view object (like File Open Dialog).

Ok I'm starting to see how it can happen but....

....this is happening with the mouse over *.mz in my application and *.txt in
Notepad. I could imagine that Acrobat might register a *.pdf handler, but
do you mean that a handler registered by Acrobat is being called for other
file types?
