I have the same problem as described here "Shell extension doesn't work in Windows-Explorer but works in other programs?", but it doesn't works only in explorer. OS Windows 7 x64. Dll was compiled as x64 project.
Part of my trace-file when i call context menu in explorer:
DllGetClassObject
Factory: Create component
clComponent::QueryInterface: Return pointer to IContextMenu
Factory: Self Destruction
clComponent::QueryInterface: Interface doesn't supported : {00000003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

clComponent::QueryInterface: Return pointer to IContextMenu
Component: Self Destruction
I also implement two interfaces IShellExtInit and IContextMenu. Maybe I did something wrong in Windows register?.. Could someone write necessary changes in register?
