How to install shell extensions only

Post by haomin »

Portable version does not include shell extensions
so, i copy all of files in "Shell Extensions" folder from another computer which uses 64 bit MSI installer
then Run as administrator to do
regsvr32 "C:\Shell Extensions\XCShInfo.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Shell Extensions\Win32\XCShInfo.dll"

the functions is normal on previews etc.
but svchost.exe occupies many cpu loading

when i uninstall
regsvr32 /u "C:\Shell Extensions\XCShInfo.dll"
regsvr32 /u "C:\Shell Extensions\Win32\XCShInfo.dll"

the cpu loading returns to normal

Hi haomin,

Thanks for the post - The Portable Editor does not include the Shell Extensions because, by nature, a portable application should not make registry entries. A thumbnail/preview handler requires that registry entries are made.

Regarding the CPU load, can you please right click the DLL and select Properties, then send a screen-shot of the Details tab?

Thanks,

Hi haomin,

Thanks for that - The Shell Extensions contain an iFilter, which allows Windows to search the contents of PDF files. I suspect that the extra CPU load is the Windows Search Indexer. The load would drop after removing/de-registering the Shell Extensions because Windows no long has an iFilter to search PDF contents.

Please try disabling the Windows Search Indexer and see if that helps.

Hi Haomin

but cpu load is ... when after two or three hours

is that the case AFTER deregistering the DLLs? If so it would suggest that your high CPU usage is not related to our shell extensions...

If you want documents to be previewed in Outlook and you have the 32-bit Outlook installed, then yes, you will need both the 32-bit and 64-bit DLL's. The 64-bit DLL will not be able to use be utilized by 32-bit programs.
