Hello. I'm fairly inexperienced with c++ (took AP CompSci in
high-school two years ago), and also new to XPCOM. As a result, some
parts of the tutorial provided at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpcom/book/cxc/html/newbookTOC.html
seem very confusing.

Here's what I've managed to work out:

I created a new project, for which I set up Visual C++ 6.0 to work
with XPCOM and the Gecko SDK. I then copied the source displayed at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpcom/book/cxc/html/weblock.html#998205
into weblock.cpp, and compiled as a release. I went into the generated
folder, copied the .dll, and pasted it into my mozilla components
directory.

Next, from the command prompt (in my Mozilla directory), I ran
regxpcom.exe -x "C:\Program Files\Common
Files\mozilla.org\GRE\1.6_2004011308" WebLock.dll and got a successful
confirmation message. But when I run Mozilla and start the Component
Viewer, "@dougt/weblock" is nowhere to be found.

It's a little disheartening, since this is just the first step. I'll
be making another post (to keep the replies separated) about questions
I have regarding iWebLock, IDL, and the organization of these files.

Any and all help is very much appreciated.
