Dave,

A few suggestions...

I wonder if it's better to choose a less package-specific variable name,
e.g., NOCDHOME.  If you want to keep the variable as CHERE_INVOKING in the
rest of the package, simply create a /etc/profile.d script (e.g.,
chere.sh) that will set NOCDHOME if CHERE_INVOKING is set.

I believe this is standard Windows behavior in all versions, otherwise DLL
loading wouldn't work properly...

Why?  Can't they go into HKCU?

Huh?  Uninstall for what?  For "chere"?

Perhaps this could be done in a preremove script?  Have chere add a line
for every context menu installed to /etc/preremove/chere-installed.lst,
and have the preremove script run uninstall for each line in that file...

HTH,
