Paste that text here, enter a filename ending in .zip, choose to export to a binary file, and press submit: http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp.

The DLL is compiled, and the source is mostly in the first message. Because you need a $~100 piece of software to compile it, I didn't think you'd want to do it yourself. :-)

Batch file or shortcut. For a shortcut, just create a shortcut to anything, then modify its properties to
Target: rundll32.exe ZipFldrHook.dll,Run
Start in: C:\path\to\dll

The hook is set up in the DLL. If you want to know more, I'm using a WH_CALLWNDPROCRET hook set system-wide. See the MSDN documentation for SetWindowsHookEx and UnhookWindowsHookEx.
