I'm not sure if anyone has added shell script support (and dont care 8) I remember reading years ago that NT was going to have synthetic file support. So you could have an executable called dave.bmp and when the data was requested it executed the program and returned the data. How excited I was to install NT, read MSDN and discover only "shortcuts". Maybe it's in there somewhere, if it is I would warrant that the symantics change with every service pack.
