Really irritating. I don&#8217;t doubt that the people who work for microsoft find it quite easy to program extensions in C# or whatever. But even inside MS there aren&#8217;t many people doing it  , and I suspect that it will quietly wither away because, although good software, it&#8217;s just too hard to extend. And any type of intelligent dustbin program has to talk easily to everything else on the machine.
