Glen, thanks for the warning!

This sucks, windows hiding extensions while it is told to show them :((
I found one .shs on my system, it turned out to be a icon from the ICQ
program.
It seems that runddl32 is used to find the contend type and then open the
correct program.
At least on my system the SHS extension was registered by Office 2000.
I changed the file type settings for .SHS files to; always show extension
and confirm open after download.
Not sure if this is any good, however one thing is for sure Windows sucks
big time.

Regards, Theo
