Start Button & Taskbar

[derek]

Is it possible to remove the Start Button and taskbar on
loading up into Windows 2000, i want a program to run
straight from the Startup folder and i dont want to give
access to the start button. Is a change in the registry
settings required ?

Set your program as the shell for the user or the computer:

HKLM|HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
shell="C:\path\prog.exe"

It will be currently set to explorer.exe.

This value does not exist for HKCU by default (iirc), but if you create it,
it will be honored for that user. If you change it in HKLM, your program
will be the shell for all users.
