1: The application define and public the IDL Interface
2: The application define where in the registry the plug-in puts its
CLSID
3: The application goes to that registry location and iterates through
the CLSID's checking to see if they implement the desired interface.
Does anyone know if there is an officially recommended place in the
registry that Microsoft suggests that the CLSID be placed?
You might be thinking about component categories:

You can define a new category for your application, and a plugin
registers itself as implementing this category. You can then enumerate
all COM objects implementing your category.

land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
