Hi, I've followed installation instructions and I see "Hello World Bar" among available toolbars in taskbar menu. But when I click on it it doesn't show up. Also triend SharpShell DeskBand example, same results. I'm using Windows 10 64 bit v1703 build 15063.608.

Any way to debug DeskBand ? Any advice or help would be appreciated.

I have to admit that I had lots of trouble to get deskbands to work for myself, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask (I will need to re-trace my steps).

Hmm I would have expected sharpshell to work :/

btw I also have the same build of Windows 10 (minor version is slightly newer)

I had some issues too, but after doing several things describes here (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144099(v=vs.85).aspx) it worked somehow.

I have a similar issue. I originally started with https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2219/Extending-Explorer-with-Band-Objects-using-NET-and that this project is based on.

I've downloaded and built this project and ran the appropriate gacutil.exe commands. I can see the "Hello World Bar" only in Internet Explorer. It does not appear in my taskbar menu or on the taskbar, what have I done wrong, or how can I get this to work? This is my windows 10 version.

@coreyman I have not seen that before :/ On my system, "Hello World Bar" does not show up in Internet Explorer at all:

Exact same Windows 10 build, too.

In any case, I just updated the instructions in README.md and renamed a few things in the repo to make things clearer. Do give it a try (pull, build and register)!
