ExplorerPatcher Custom Libraries Chainloader
ExplorerPatcher has a simple, built-in mechanism that allows users to load their own DLL into explorer.exe
right after ExplorerPatcher finishes initializing its hooks. Interested users should place a DLL called ep_extra.dll
in C:\Windows
. When ExplorerPatcher finishes its setup, it loads the ep_extra.dll
library and calls the ep_extra_EntryPoint
function. Although this is very useful so that users can load their custom code, it is quite limited at the moment, as it loads just one DLL.
This project is a solution to this issue. A chainloader is implemented here, that looks for other modules matching the ep_extra_*.dll
pattern in C:\Windows
as well, and loads them one after the other.
