Goals

-----

There are several goals that this shell extension tries to adhere to and takes extra precautions to meet.

* **Performance**  

  It is important that the shell extension not stall Windows Explorer.  

* **Stability**  

  Instability in the shell extension will take down Window Explorer and/or the entire desktop.  

The mitigation strategy is to run the majority of the shell extension asynchronously out of the 

Windows Explorer process.
