Windows Shell Programming

Now that I am free of studying for any exams, I am getting back to C++ and looking into Shell programming (for DownStream).  Does anyone have any suggestions on resources to help me with writing a Shell Extension (besides the platform sdk)?  C# or C++ doesn't matter to me.

So far I have found these:

From MSDN: Create Namespace Extensions for Windows Explorer with the .NET Framework
From CodeProject: Michell Dunn's The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions

Anyone have some favorite resources for writing shell extensions?

My brother Dominic wrote some code for writing managed shell extensions. You might find it interesting. http://www.dcooney.com/wiki/ow.asp?NamespaceExtension
