    <description>&lt;P&gt;Further notes on this, for anyone's reference :&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\DropboxExt contains the handler ID {ECD97DE5-3C8F-4ACB-AEEE-CCAB78F7711C}.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There's a similar value under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\DropboxExt .&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Under HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{ECD97DE5-3C8F-4ACB-AEEE-CCAB78F7711C}, there's an InprocServer32 subkey with a DLL path (e.g. DropboxExt64.28.dll).&amp;nbsp; Is this the DLL I'm looking for?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Invoking context menu from elsewhere</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Invoking-context-menu-from-elsewhere/m-p/185904#M7858</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi folks -- I'm working on an application which stores data in a non-Dropbox folder, and sometimes syncs the contents to a Dropbox folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm already implementing a Windows context-menu handler for my app, which appears when you right-click the non-Dropbox folder -- and I'd love to include some sort "Share on Dropbox" menu item, which brings up the standard Dropbox-client sharing GUI.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My idea is that, if my non-Dropbox folder gets right-clicked, my handler can pass a call directly to the *Dropbox client*'s context-menu handler DLL (assuming it uses the Windows standard interface), substituting the path for the corresponding folder in Dropbox; Dropbox's handler should then respond as if that folder were right-clicked.&amp;nbsp; But to do that, I'd need to know where to find the correct Dropbox DLL.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Any clues where in the registry I can find this?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(Explanations of why my idea is obviously insane also gracefully accepted.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Jon, this forum is intended for developers using the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API, but it looks like you're attempting to interface&amp;nbsp;with the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox desktop client. The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox desktop client doesn't offer an official programmatic interface, so I'm afraid we can't offer help with this.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
