The ShellUIHelper object is implemented by the shell to help script and Visual Basic developers to use some of the features available in the shell. The ShellUIHelper object exposes methods that allow you to determine if a user is subscribed to a Web page as well as add channels, desktop components, and favorites.

ShUIHlpr.exe is a self-extracting archive that contains the file ShellUIHelper.reg. In order to register ShellUIHelper on your system, change the InProcServer32 key in this registry script to point to the correct path to Shdocvw.dll. The reason you have to manually set the path is that the %SystemRoot% variable does not work in the case of the InProcServer32 key for ShellUIHelper.
