Shell extension sample code is included in Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework. You can find the sample at All-In-One Windows Shell Code Samples

"My error, I meant toolbar"
Toolbars for both Explorer and Internet Explorer can be developed as Browser Helper Objects.
It is a pain to do in C# (involves a lot of COM interop), but it can be done. See here and here.

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately, none give me good examples on how to do it in Windows Explorer. I need like a hello word example using .NET. – Phil Nov 01 '11 at 04:40
