HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\AssemblyFolders

hi, I'm kinda confused as to how I get an assembly to show up in my
References dialogue box. I see lots of posts like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\AssemblyFolders\MyAssem
blies]@="C:\\MyAssemblies"
but I'm not sure what the @ is referring to and why there is a double
backslash in the path. Can someone please explain this ? and assist in
helping me get my assembly listed.

Thanks.

TIA

There's really no trick to it.

1. Add a new key under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AssemblyF olders and name it
whatever you like.
2. In the key you created, change the (Default) value to the path of the
folder where your assemblies are located.

If you're using Visual Studio.NET 2002 you'll want to create your key under
7.0 instead of 7.1 (you won't have a 7.1 key anyways if that's what you're
using).
