Ok, I made us single testing application so we can share test results.

About the test app

• You will register DDE if you click "Register DDE" checkbox. This will add "ADD TO TEST AHK LIST" context menu entery for every file and folder in the system. It will stay in effect when you exit application so you can test DDE when script is not running. You can uninstall it anytime if you uncheck this box.
• There are both dde versions in the test file, by default Lex's version is enabled. To enable Seans version, simply uncomment code in DDE_Init() function.

temp01: Hahahaha! You're such a n00b!!!

Edit: I screwed up both my home and work computer playing around with majkinetor's example -how do I fix this? What should the default key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell look like?
