Dear All,

I need to implement the following:

- When logged as administrator the shell shall be Windows Explorer
- When logged as User (Not Administrator) the shell shall be the customer's
application.

I thank you all

Alessandro
 
if I use a custom shell in the HKLM tree and set the shell for the
Administrator account in HKCU to explorer.exe, the explorer ist started as
explorer and not as shell... how can i avoid this behavior. i need a explorer
shell for the administrator account...
 
Did you set the first registry key correctly?:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\system.ini\boot\Shell
Type: REG_SZ
Value: USR:Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Click to expand...

This was my fault ;) I didn't see the little difference.

I use in the HKLM-Key my custom shell and for the Admin a different
shell. This works. But if I start an Explorer in my User-Accounts, this
Explorer ist started in shell mode... is this normal?
 
Yes, that is normal. I don't know the switch off hand to start it in File
Explorer mode.
