[shell-coding] Re: RegsiterShellHookWindow

That function isn't the same thing as what LS implements.  It is a function to 
register a window to recieve those same messages, but it will not work unless 
the service for generating those messages is running.  And that service is what 
LS implements...

Probably why it wasn't working on everyones machine is that the service wasn't 
running (didn't have the right version of LS perhaps).

Oh, and as such, it is kinda pointless for LS to pass on those messages in the 
first place.  A module should just use that call you mentioned to recieve the 
messages directly, instead of depending on LS to send them.
