Microsoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was posted. The file is stored on security-enhanced servers that help to prevent any unauthorized changes to the file. The ShellUIHelper is a part of Shdocvw.dll. 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.
