This is a bit more complicated than you might like. I have
a half-hearted example here:

and the in-dev version of my winshell module includes some more
general-purpose code which you might at least want to look at
even though it's not 100% at the moment:

Part of the difficulty is that Windows has switched between two
approaches to this area which doesn't help when trying to get
examples.
