Decode Shell Extension, one of our freeware products, allows you to decode Internet email attachments simply by right-clicking on a saved message file from Explorer and selecting Decode from the menu. Decode Shell Extension is for 32 bit Windows. It will not work on x64 platforms.

Freeware Decode Shell Extension Screen Shot

Decode Shell Extension supports multiple attachments, multi-part files (already concatenated), Base64(MIME), yEnc, BinHex (Mac format), quoted-printable, plain text, XXENCODED, and User (table) encoded files. Support for yEnc is new to version 4.6.

Usage is via Windows Explorer. After the program is installed a "Decode" item is added to the Explorer right click context menu when a file is highlighted. If that file is the raw text (including the attachment data) of an internet email message, Decode Shell Extension will decode the attachment(s). If the attachment consists of only one file, Decode Shell Extension will pass the decode file to Windows for opening with either the program associated with that file type or Notepad.

For virus safety reasons, Decode Shell Extension will initiate opening/launching of .exe, .com, .bat, & .cmd files. We suggest that you scan all message text files and decoded attachments in advance with your anti-virus checker before loading them. For information on anti-virus software, see CIAC Security Tools.

Please see the Decode Shell Extension FAQ for more instructions on using the program! The FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for AOL and Compuserve 2000 users.

This is our most popular freeware utility and we're very happy that so many of you find it useful. If you need ongoing customer support or the ability to encode files, look over our shareware products Funduc Explorer Extensions or Directory Toolkit. Funduc Explorer Extensions is for those who need some of the functions of Directory Toolkit (Decode, Encode, Split, Concatenate, Touch) but who don't need the directory comparison or ZIP functions.

Decode Shell Extension can be downloaded in two formats: a self-installing .exe and ZIP format. Both are the same program. We suggest you use the self-installer. Please see the install instructions in the Decode Shell Extension FAQ for more details on installation.

	SETUPDX.EXE (310K)	This is a self-installing version (4.6) that does not require a unZIP program. Download to a temporary directory and just run SETUPDX.EXE. Please see the Decode Shell Extension FAQ for usage instructions.
	DECEXT.ZIP (120K)	The zip version (4.6) is recommended for advanced computer users only. There is no uninstall for the zip download form so if you do not know how to decipher a windows .reg file so you could uninstall manually, do not use this form! Download the self-installer above and use that. There is an "install.txt" file in this zip but, again, the information is intended for advanced computer users.
