Remarks

You should implement IShellExecuteHook when you have named objects that the user would expect to be able to run from the Run dialog box after clicking the Windows Start button.

Shell execute hooks are registered by adding a value that contains the object's class identifier (CLSID) string under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
   Software
      Microsoft
         Windows
            CurrentVersion
               Explorer
                  ShellExecuteHooks

You do not use this interface directly. It is generally used by the ShellExecuteEx function's code.
