DLL GacUtil and Reflector Shortcuts

Here's a little trick to help all of us SharePoint developers working with DLLs. 

It adds the gacutil.exe -i and Reflector.exe command to the right-click context menu.

Get Reflector.exe at: http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/

Now, all you have to do is right click on a dll and presto!  (make sure reflector.exe path maps correctly)

DLLShortcuts.reg (create in notepad and double click)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTdllfileShell]
@="c:\reflector\reflector.exe "%1""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTdllfileShellInstallGAC]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTdllfileShellInstallGACcommand]
@=""c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /i "%1""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTdllfileShellReflector]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTdllfileShellReflectorcommand]
@="c:\reflector\reflector.exe "%1""
