[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
The ISnapinAbout interface enables the console to get copyright and version information from the snap-in. The console also uses this interface to obtain images for the static folder from the snap-in.
You implement this interface any time you want to include in your snap-in information that is typically found in an About property page. Default static folder images and icons are used for display if the interface is not implemented. In addition, a separate coclass should be provided for better efficiency.
This interface is used by the snap-in manager in Microsoft Management Console.
