I am working on a C# BHO, and was struggling with this very same question. If you're working with C#, one approach that can be taken is to add code similar to the following in the method that is marked with the ComRegisterFunction attribute. This will set the appropriate registry key value so that the name that you desire will be reflected in the Manage Add-Ons screen.

using (key = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey("CLSID\\" + type.GUID.ToString("B")))
{
    key.SetValue(string.Empty, "My BHO Name Here");
}

This information is stored in .rgs file in your project. Look for a string like

ForceRemove {29DFE920-26AD-4377-8FCB-0E7A34A41199} = s 'NameIEBHO Class'

No way to set the name? The name showing in the "Manage Add-Ons" window seems to be picked up from the BHO's C# class fully qualified name.

  1. Include a VERSIONINFO resource.
  2. Sign your DLLs.
