Any app using the ShellObjectWatcher hangs when closing because of a background message loop.

See this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9291929/c-sharp-app-using-windows-api-code-pack-shell-extension-wont-shut-down

The solution is to add a line to the function MessageListener.WndProc()​

case (uint)WindowMessage.Destr​oy:
 _running = false; // add this line to fix issue
 break;
