M Mike Feb 26, 2004 #1 How do you change the user shell to something other than "Explorer" in XP Professional? Thanks, Mike
A Anando [MS-MVP] Feb 26, 2004 #2 Hi, Change the data under the key named 'shell' in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. It should point to the exact path to the file. -- Regards, Anando Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp http://www.mvps.org http://www.dts-l.org Get Secure !! http://www.microsoft.com/protect
