SUMMARY
The Mmc_about.exe sample project demonstrates how to implement ISnapinAbout in an MMC snap-in. The ISnapinAbout interface enables the Management Console to obtain copyright and version information from a snap-in. The console also uses this interface to obtain images for the static folder from the snap-in.

MORE INFORMATION
The Mmc_about.exe file contains the C++ source files to build an MMC snap-in that implements the ISnapinAbout interface. It also includes the registry functions to correctly register the object so that the Management Console will use it.

MMC 2.0 is included with Windows XP and Whistler Beta 2. Also required are the MMC 2.0 header files and libraries from the Microsoft Platform SDK for Whistler Beta 1 or later.
