Copy the tlb file in the zip file to the system directory and make sure that VB Shell Library appears in the references. If the library is not listed then browse to the tlb library and add it to the references.
The reg file in the zip file is what adds the code to the Tools menu in Internet Explorer. After compiling the code, create an install package using the Package and Deployment Wizard and include the reg file as part of the install. Run the install to make sure that all of the registry entries are created.
