Re: Clsid FFDShow modifying Windows Explorer.

I tested FFDshow 1805 from the afterdawn site, the latest 1817 from ffdshow.info, and version 1771.

I had the hash from before I installed ffdshow and after.
The hash for explorer.exe in c:\windows in vista 32 bit stayed the same after trying each version out.
I hope I tested the right explorer.exe. I searched and found a few.

This was using the hash software Cudni linked too.
Thanks Cudni.

How many is "a few" and exactly where were they found?

Here is a sample screen capture of a search for "explorer.ex?" from the Windows XP workstation I am using.




The copy in the "c:\windows" folder is the only one that should really matter, but if you really have multiple copies, it is not impossible that registry changes could force your Windows installation to use one of the other copies, and where those other copies are located can often be used as a guide to their validity.
