RegisterInprocServer - register the in-process component in the registry. UnregisterInprocServer - unregister the in-process component in the registry. RegisterShellExtPreviewHandler - register the preview handler. UnregisterShellExtPreviewHandler - unregister the preview handler. RegisterShellExtThumbnailHandler - register the thumbnail handler. UnregisterShellExtThumbnailHandler - unregister the thumbnail handler. This source is subject to the Microsoft Public License. See http://www.microsoft.com/opensource/licenses.mspx#Ms-PL.
