Step 1: Review Your Packages

Step 2: Choose Your Integration Method

Step 3: Copy Your Script or Download Config

Option 1: Copy Script

Option 2: Download Config

Step 4: Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)

Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the packages and push them to a repository
  Download Packages

Option 2: Internalized Package (Reliable, Scalable)

Open Source
- Download the packages:
  Download Packages
- Follow manual internalization instructions
Package Internalizer (C4B)
- Run: (additional options)
- For package and dependencies run:
- Automate package internalization

Step 5: Copy Your Script

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:

If Applicable - Chocolatey Configuration/Installation


## 1. REQUIREMENTS ##
### Here are the requirements necessary to ensure this is successful.

### a. Internal/Private Cloud Repository Set Up ###
#### You'll need an internal/private cloud repository you can use. These are
####  generally really quick to set up and there are quite a few options.
####  Chocolatey Software recommends Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet as they
####  are repository servers and will give you the ability to manage multiple
####  repositories and types from one server installation.

### b. Download Chocolatey Package and Put on Internal Repository ###
#### You need to have downloaded the Chocolatey package as well.
####  Please see https://chocolatey.org/install#organization

### c. Other Requirements ###

#### We initialize a few things that are needed by this script - there are no other requirements.
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"

#### Set TLS 1.2 (3072) as that is the minimum required by various up-to-date repositories.
#### Use integers because the enumeration value for TLS 1.2 won't exist
#### in .NET 4.0, even though they are addressable if .NET 4.5+ is
#### installed (.NET 4.5 is an in-place upgrade).
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072

#### We use this variable for future REST calls.
$RequestArguments = @{
    UseBasicParsing = $true
}

## 2. TOP LEVEL VARIABLES ##

### a. Your internal repository url (the main one). ###
####  Should be similar to what you see when you browse
#### to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
$NugetRepositoryUrl = "INTERNAL REPO URL"

### b. Internal Repository Credential ###
#### If required, add the repository access credential here
# $NugetRepositoryCredential = [PSCredential]::new(
#     "username",
#     ("password" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
# )
# $RequestArguments.Credential = $NugetRepositoryCredential

### c. Chocolatey nupkg download url ###
#### This url should result in an immediate download when you navigate to it
$ChocolateyDownloadUrl = "$($NugetRepositoryUrl.TrimEnd('/'))/package/chocolatey.2.4.1.nupkg"

### d. Chocolatey Central Management (CCM) ###
#### If using CCM to manage Chocolatey, add the following:
#### i. Endpoint URL for CCM
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementUrl = "https://chocolatey-central-management:24020/ChocolateyManagementService"

#### ii. If using a Client Salt, add it here
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementClientSalt = "clientsalt"

#### iii. If using a Service Salt, add it here
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementServiceSalt = "servicesalt"

## 3. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY IS INSTALLED ##
### Ensure Chocolatey is installed from your internal repository

#### Download the Nupkg, appending .zip to the filename to handle archive cmdlet limitations
if (-not (Get-Command choco.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
    $TempDirectory = Join-Path $env:Temp "chocolateyInstall"
    if (-not (Test-Path $TempDirectory -PathType Container)) {
        $null = New-Item -Path $TempDirectory -ItemType Directory
    }
    $DownloadedNupkg = Join-Path $TempDirectory "$(Split-Path $ChocolateyDownloadUrl -Leaf).zip"
    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $ChocolateyDownloadUrl -OutFile $DownloadedNupkg @RequestArguments

    #### Extract the Nupkg, and run the chocolateyInstall script
    if (Get-Command Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Expand-Archive -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
        Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Expand-Archive -Path $DownloadedNupkg -DestinationPath $TempDirectory -Force
    } else {
        # PowerShell versions <4.0 do not have this function available
        try {
            $shellApplication = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
            $zipPackage = $shellApplication.NameSpace($DownloadedNupkg)
            $destinationFolder = $shellApplication.NameSpace($TempDirectory)
            $destinationFolder.CopyHere($zipPackage.Items(), 0x10)
        } catch {
            Write-Warning "Unable to unzip package using built-in compression."
            throw $_
        }
    }

    & $(Join-Path $TempDirectory "tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1")
}

if (-not (Get-Command choco.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
    refreshenv
}

## 4. CONFIGURE CHOCOLATEY BASELINE ##
### a. FIPS Feature ###
#### If you need FIPS compliance - make this the first thing you configure
#### before you do any additional configuration or package installations
# choco feature enable -n useFipsCompliantChecksums

### b. Apply Recommended Configuration ###
#### Move cache location so Chocolatey is very deterministic about
#### cleaning up temporary data and the location is secured to admins
choco config set --name cacheLocation --value C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\cache

#### Increase timeout to at least 4 hours
choco config set --name commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds --value 14400

#### Turn off download progress when running choco through integrations
choco feature disable --name showDownloadProgress

### c. Sources ###
#### Remove the default community package repository source
choco source list --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header 'Name', 'Location' -Delimiter '|' | ForEach-Object {
    if ($_.Location -eq 'https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/') {
        choco source remove -n $_.Name
    }
}

#### Add internal default sources
#### You could have multiple sources here, so we will provide an example
#### of one using the remote repo variable here

#### NOTE: This EXAMPLE may require changes
if ($NugetRepositoryCredential) {
    choco source add --name ChocolateyInternal --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --user $NugetRepositoryCredential.UserName --password $NugetRepositoryCredential.GetNetworkCredential().Password --priority 1
} else {
    choco source add --name ChocolateyInternal --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --priority 1
}

### b. Keep Chocolatey Up To Date ###
#### Keep chocolatey up to date based on your internal source
#### You control the upgrades based on when you push an updated version
####  to your internal repository.
#### Note the source here is to the OData feed, similar to what you see
####  when you browse to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
choco upgrade chocolatey --confirm

## 5. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY FOR BUSINESS ##
### If you don't have Chocolatey for Business (C4B), you'll want to remove from here down.

### a. Ensure The License File Is Installed ###
#### Create a license package using script from https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/how-tos/setup-offline-installation#exercise-4-create-a-package-for-the-license
choco install chocolatey-license --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --confirm

### b. Disable The Licensed Source ###
#### The licensed source cannot be removed, so it must be disabled.
#### This must occur after the license has been set by the license package.
if ("chocolatey-license" -in (choco list --localonly --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header "Name" -Delimiter "|").Name) {
    choco source disable --name chocolatey.licensed
} else {
    Write-Warning "Not disabling 'chocolatey.licensed' feed, as Chocolatey-License has not been installed."
}

### c. Ensure Chocolatey Licensed Extension ###
#### You will have downloaded the licensed extension to your internal repository
#### as you have disabled the licensed repository in step 5b.

#### Ensure the chocolatey.extension package (aka Chocolatey Licensed Extension)
if ("chocolatey-license" -in (choco list --localonly --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header "Name" -Delimiter "|").Name) {
    choco install chocolatey.extension --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --confirm
} else {
    Write-Warning "Not installing 'chocolatey.extension', as Chocolatey-License has not been installed."
}

#requires -Modules cChoco
## 1. REQUIREMENTS ##
### Here are the requirements necessary to ensure this is successful.

### a. Internal/Private Cloud Repository Set Up ###
#### You'll need an internal/private cloud repository you can use. These are
####  generally really quick to set up and there are quite a few options.
####  Chocolatey Software recommends Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet as they
####  are repository servers and will give you the ability to manage multiple
####  repositories and types from one server installation.

### b. Download Chocolatey Package and Put on Internal Repository ###
#### You need to have downloaded the Chocolatey package as well.
####  Please see https://chocolatey.org/install#organization

### c. Other Requirements ###
#### i. Requires chocolatey\cChoco DSC module to be installed on the machine compiling the DSC manifest
#### NOTE: This will need to be installed before running the DSC portion of this script
if (-not (Get-Module cChoco -ListAvailable)) {
    $null = Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
    if (($PSGallery = Get-PSRepository -Name PSGallery).InstallationPolicy -ne "Trusted") {
        Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted
    }
    Install-Module -Name cChoco
    if ($PSGallery.InstallationPolicy -ne "Trusted") {
        Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy $PSGallery.InstallationPolicy
    }
}

#### ii. Requires a hosted copy of the install.ps1 script
##### This should be available to download without authentication.
##### The original script can be found here: https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1

Configuration ChocolateyConfig {
## 2. TOP LEVEL VARIABLES ##
    param(
### a. Your internal repository url (the main one). ###
####  Should be similar to what you see when you browse
#### to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
        $NugetRepositoryUrl      = "INTERNAL REPO URL",

### b. Chocolatey nupkg download url ###
#### This url should result in an immediate download when you navigate to it in
#### a web browser
        $ChocolateyNupkgUrl      = "INTERNAL REPO URL/package/chocolatey.2.4.1.nupkg",

### c. Internal Repository Credential ###
#### If required, add the repository access credential here
#        $NugetRepositoryCredential = [PSCredential]::new(

## 3. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY IS INSTALLED ##
### Ensure Chocolatey is installed from your internal repository
        Environment chocoDownloadUrl {
            Name  = "chocolateyDownloadUrl"
            Value = $ChocolateyNupkgUrl
        }

            InstallDir = Join-Path $env:ProgramData "chocolatey"
            ChocoInstallScriptUrl = $ChocolateyInstallPs1Url
        }

## 4. CONFIGURE CHOCOLATEY BASELINE ##
### a. FIPS Feature ###
#### If you need FIPS compliance - make this the first thing you configure
#### before you do any additional configuration or package installations
#        cChocoFeature featureFipsCompliance {
#            FeatureName = "useFipsCompliantChecksums"
#        }

### b. Apply Recommended Configuration ###

#### Move cache location so Chocolatey is very deterministic about
#### cleaning up temporary data and the location is secured to admins
        cChocoConfig cacheLocation {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            ConfigName = "cacheLocation"
            Value      = "C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\cache"
        }

#### Increase timeout to at least 4 hours
        cChocoConfig commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            ConfigName = "commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds"
            Value      = 14400
        }

#### Turn off download progress when running choco through integrations
        cChocoFeature showDownloadProgress {
            DependsOn   = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            FeatureName = "showDownloadProgress"
            Ensure      = "Absent"
        }

### c. Sources ###
#### Remove the default community package repository source
        cChocoSource removeCommunityRepository {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            Name       = "chocolatey"
            Ensure     = "Absent"
        }

#### Add internal default sources
#### You could have multiple sources here, so we will provide an example
#### of one using the remote repo variable here.
#### NOTE: This EXAMPLE may require changes
        cChocoSource addInternalSource {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            Name        = "ChocolateyInternal"

            Credentials = $NugetRepositoryCredential
            Priority    = 1
        }

### b. Keep Chocolatey Up To Date ###
#### Keep chocolatey up to date based on your internal source
#### You control the upgrades based on when you push an updated version
####  to your internal repository.
#### Note the source here is to the OData feed, similar to what you see
####  when you browse to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
        cChocoPackageInstaller updateChocolatey {
            DependsOn   = "[cChocoSource]addInternalSource", "[cChocoSource]removeCommunityRepository"

        cChocoPackageInstaller chocolateyLicense {
            DependsOn = "[cChocoPackageInstaller]updateChocolatey"
            Name      = "chocolatey-license"
        }

### b. Disable The Licensed Source ###
#### The licensed source cannot be removed, so it must be disabled.
#### This must occur after the license has been set by the license package.
        Script disableLicensedSource {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoPackageInstaller]chocolateyLicense"

Description
===========

Shell Extensions are in-process COM objects which extend the abilities of
Windows operating system. Most shell extensions are automatically
installed by the operating system, but there are also many other
applications that install additional shell extension components. For
example: If you install WinZip on your computer, you'll see a special
WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file. This menu is created by
adding a shell extension to the system.

The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions
installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable
each shell extension.

ShellExView can be used for solving context-menu problems in Explorer
environment. For more information, read the following article:
Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

  option is turned on, the column names are added as the first line when
  you export to csv or tab-delimited file.

  view/enable/disable shell extensions in a remote computer on your
  network.


29/08/2009
1.41

* Changed the definition of 'Suspicious Shell Extensions' - In previous
  versions, Every shell extension with read-only attribute marked as
  Suspicious, which confused some users, because there are many
  legitimated shell extensions that set a read-only attribute, probably
  to protect them from delete by the user. However, if a shell extension
  has an hidden attribute, it'll still be marked as suspicious.


22/08/2009
1.40

* Added option to submit a report about a shell extension that you
  disabled to http://shellfix.nirsoft.net.

  type of shell extensions you want to view.


24/10/2008
1.25

* New restriction: ShellExView won't allow you to disable at once more
  than 15 shell extensions created by Microsoft. The reason for this
  restriction is that recently there were a few cases of people that
  disabled most of their shell extensions, including system extensions
  that installed as a part of the operating system, and then found
  themselves with a system that cannot boot properly.


02/10/2008
1.24

* Fixed bug: Exception window appeared when starting ShellExView in
  some systems.

Disable/Enable Shell Extensions
===============================

The ShellExView utility allows you to disable and enable the shell
extensions components on your system. In order to disable or enable a
shell extension item, select the desired item, and from the File menu (or
from the pop-up menu) select the appropriate option - "Enable Selected
Items" or "Disable Selected Items".
Here's 2 examples of useful things that you can do with this feature:

* Context Menu: Some applications, like WinZip, CuteFTP, and others,
  add some items to the context menu when you right-click on a file in
  explorer window. If you disable the appropriate shell extension, you
  won't get these additional menu items.
  In order to locate the desired shell extension item:
  1. Sort the extensions list by the "Type" column and look at all
     "Context Menu" items.
  2. Search the application that creates the menu you want to
     disable. The icon near each item can help to locate the desired
     shell extension.

* Shell Folder: When you enter into some special folders like "History"
  and "Temporary Internet Files", you don't see the real file system, but
  the a virtual folder that the shell extension create for you. If you
  want to watch the real file system inside "History" or "Temporary
  Internet Files", you can disable the appropriate shell extension items.



Sending report to shellfix.nirsoft.net
======================================

If you solved a problem by disabling a shell extension in your Explorer,
and you want to share it with others, you can use the 'Send Report To
ShellFix' option to publish the information in
http://shellfix.nirsoft.net. You can find full instructions about how to
send a report in the main page of http://shellfix.nirsoft.net Web site.



Add/Remove special folders to "My Computer" and "Desktop" folders
=================================================================

Some special shell folders like "Printers", "Recycle Bin", "Scheduled
Tasks", "Network and Dial-up Connections", "Mobile Device", and others
can be added (and be removed) to "My Computer", "Desktop", and even to
"Control Panel" (Only in Windows 2000) by using the ShellExView utility.
For Example: Under Windows 2000, you can add the "Printers", "Recycle
Bin", and "Scheduled Tasks" folders to "My Computer". In order to do
that, select the item that you want to add or remove (You can only use
"Shell Folder" items) and from the File menu, select the appropriate
add/remove option.
Be aware that there are some shell folders that cannot be added to "My
Computer" or "Desktop" folders. For example: adding the "Administrative
Tools" folder to "My Computer" won't work properly as you might expect.



Mark Suspicious Shell Extensions
================================

Most shell extensions use standard file extensions (.dll, .ocx or .cpl)
as well as they usually don't turn on their system attribues
(read-only/hidden/system). If ShellExView detect shell extension with
unusual file extension or with unusual attribute (e.g: shell extension
dll that is marked as hidden in the file system), it'll be marked in red
color. It's recommended to deeply check these unusual shell extensions to
insure that they are not unwanted malicious programs that penetrated into
your system.



Command-line options
====================



/stext <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into a regular text file.

/stab <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into a tab-delimited text file.

/scomma <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into a comma-delimited text file.

/stabular <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into a tabular text file.

/shtml <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into HTML file.

/sverhtml <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into vertical HTML file.

/sxml <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into XML file.

/NoLoadSettings
Run ShellExView without loading your last settings. (window position,
columns size, etc. )

/wow64
On x64 systems, load ShellExView for using with 32-bit applications.

/external <Windows Directory> <User Profile Folder (Optional)>
Run ShellExView on external instance of Windows operating system. This
option can be useful when you have Windows operating system that cannot
boot properly. The <User Profile Folder> parameter is optional. If you
don't specify it, ShellExView won't load extensions lists that are stored
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Example:
shexview.exe /external "k:\windows" "k:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator"

/remote < \\ComputerName >
Use ShellExView with the shell extensions of a remote computer on your
network. You must have full administrator access on the remote computer
in order to use this feature.

If you fail to connect the remote computer with ShellExView, read the
instructions in the following Blog post:
How to connect a remote Windows 7/Vista/XP computer with NirSoft
utilities.

/disable <CLSID>
Disables the specified shell extension. You should specify the exact
CLSID value that you see in the CLSID column, for example:
shexview.exe /disable {120B94B5-2E6A-4F13-94D0-414BCB64FA0F}

/enable <CLSID>
Enables the specified shell extension. You should specify the exact CLSID
value that you see in the CLSID column, for example:
shexview.exe /enable {120B94B5-2E6A-4F13-94D0-414BCB64FA0F}



Translating ShellExView to other languages
==========================================

In order to translate ShellExView to other language, follow the
instructions below:
1. Run ShellExView with /savelangfile parameter:
   shexview.exe /savelangfile
   A file named shexview_lng.ini will be created in the folder of
   ShellExView utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text
   editor.
3. Translate all string entries to the desired language. Optionally,
   you can also add your name and/or a link to your Web site.
   (TranslatorName and TranslatorURL values) If you add this information,
   it'll be used in the 'About' window.
4. After you finish the translation, Run ShellExView, and all
   translated strings will be loaded from the language file.
   If you want to run ShellExView without the translation, simply rename
   the language file, or move it to another folder.

WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file. This menu is created by
adding a shell extension to the system.

The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions
installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable
each shell extension.

ShellExView can be used for solving context-menu problems in Explorer
environment. For more information, read the following article:

  network.


29/08/2009
1.41

* Changed the definition of 'Suspicious Shell Extensions' - In previous
  versions, Every shell extension with read-only attribute marked as
  Suspicious, which confused some users, because there are many
  legitimated shell extensions that set a read-only attribute, probably
  to protect them from delete by the user. However, if a shell extension
  has an hidden attribute, it'll still be marked as suspicious.

  that installed as a part of the operating system, and then found
  themselves with a system that cannot boot properly.


02/10/2008

Disable/Enable Shell Extensions
===============================

The ShellExView utility allows you to disable and enable the shell
extensions components on your system. In order to disable or enable a
shell extension item, select the desired item, and from the File menu (or
from the pop-up menu) select the appropriate option - "Enable Selected
Items" or "Disable Selected Items".
Here's 2 examples of useful things that you can do with this feature:

* Context Menu: Some applications, like WinZip, CuteFTP, and others,
  add some items to the context menu when you right-click on a file in
  explorer window. If you disable the appropriate shell extension, you
  won't get these additional menu items.
  In order to locate the desired shell extension item:
  1. Sort the extensions list by the "Type" column and look at all
     "Context Menu" items.
  2. Search the application that creates the menu you want to
     disable. The icon near each item can help to locate the desired
     shell extension.

* Shell Folder: When you enter into some special folders like "History"
  and "Temporary Internet Files", you don't see the real file system, but
  the a virtual folder that the shell extension create for you. If you
  want to watch the real file system inside "History" or "Temporary
  Internet Files", you can disable the appropriate shell extension items.



Sending report to shellfix.nirsoft.net
======================================

If you solved a problem by disabling a shell extension in your Explorer,
and you want to share it with others, you can use the 'Send Report To
ShellFix' option to publish the information in
http://shellfix.nirsoft.net. You can find full instructions about how to
send a report in the main page of http://shellfix.nirsoft.net Web site.



Add/Remove special folders to "My Computer" and "Desktop" folders
=================================================================

Some special shell folders like "Printers", "Recycle Bin", "Scheduled
Tasks", "Network and Dial-up Connections", "Mobile Device", and others
can be added (and be removed) to "My Computer", "Desktop", and even to
"Control Panel" (Only in Windows 2000) by using the ShellExView utility.
For Example: Under Windows 2000, you can add the "Printers", "Recycle
Bin", and "Scheduled Tasks" folders to "My Computer". In order to do
that, select the item that you want to add or remove (You can only use
"Shell Folder" items) and from the File menu, select the appropriate
add/remove option.
Be aware that there are some shell folders that cannot be added to "My
Computer" or "Desktop" folders. For example: adding the "Administrative
Tools" folder to "My Computer" won't work properly as you might expect.



Mark Suspicious Shell Extensions
================================

Most shell extensions use standard file extensions (.dll, .ocx or .cpl)
as well as they usually don't turn on their system attribues
(read-only/hidden/system). If ShellExView detect shell extension with
unusual file extension or with unusual attribute (e.g: shell extension
dll that is marked as hidden in the file system), it'll be marked in red
color. It's recommended to deeply check these unusual shell extensions to
insure that they are not unwanted malicious programs that penetrated into
your system.



Command-line options
====================



/stext <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into a regular text file.

/stab <Filename>
Save the list of shell extensions into a tab-delimited text file.

/scomma <Filename>

columns size, etc. )

/wow64
On x64 systems, load ShellExView for using with 32-bit applications.

/external <Windows Directory> <User Profile Folder (Optional)>
Run ShellExView on external instance of Windows operating system. This
option can be useful when you have Windows operating system that cannot
boot properly. The <User Profile Folder> parameter is optional. If you
don't specify it, ShellExView won't load extensions lists that are stored
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Example:
shexview.exe /external "k:\windows" "k:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator"

/remote < \\ComputerName >
Use ShellExView with the shell extensions of a remote computer on your
network. You must have full administrator access on the remote computer
in order to use this feature.

If you fail to connect the remote computer with ShellExView, read the
instructions in the following Blog post:
How to connect a remote Windows 7/Vista/XP computer with NirSoft
utilities.

/disable <CLSID>
Disables the specified shell extension. You should specify the exact
CLSID value that you see in the CLSID column, for example:
shexview.exe /disable {120B94B5-2E6A-4F13-94D0-414BCB64FA0F}

/enable <CLSID>
Enables the specified shell extension. You should specify the exact CLSID
value that you see in the CLSID column, for example:
shexview.exe /enable {120B94B5-2E6A-4F13-94D0-414BCB64FA0F}



Translating ShellExView to other languages
==========================================

In order to translate ShellExView to other language, follow the
instructions below:
1. Run ShellExView with /savelangfile parameter:
   shexview.exe /savelangfile
   A file named shexview_lng.ini will be created in the folder of
   ShellExView utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text
   editor.
3. Translate all string entries to the desired language. Optionally,
   you can also add your name and/or a link to your Web site.
   (TranslatorName and TranslatorURL values) If you add this information,
   it'll be used in the 'About' window.
4. After you finish the translation, Run ShellExView, and all
   translated strings will be loaded from the language file.
   If you want to run ShellExView without the translation, simply rename
   the language file, or move it to another folder.
