     === Testing === +To install the new THgShell.dll for testing, rename the THgShellx86.dll in +"C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg" to something else (e.g. THgShell-01.dll), then copy the newly built +THgShell.dll to "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\THgShellx86.dll" and restart explorer.exe +(logout/login will do as well). + +For x64 systems, the dll is instead located in +"C:\Program Files\Common Files\TortoiseHg\ThgShellx64.dll". + +See +http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-restart-explorer-exe-process-properly-in-windows-xp-and-vista/ +for properly restarting explorer (in case you don't want to do a logout/login). +Of course, simply killing explorer.exe with the task manager and restarting it will work too +(you might loose some settings changes you might have done in explorer though). +  The shell extension emits trace output (TDEBUG_TRACE macro calls in the sources). This output  can be captured by using for example the tool **DebugView** from Microsoft sysinternals (see  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx).
