replacing windows explorer in windows XP
-
On windows 98 there was a feature that you could've changed the line "shell=explorer.exe" in system.ini into something like "shell=c:\myprogramdir\myprogram.exe". That would efectively replace the explorer shell with myprogram.exe. What is the way to do it in windows XP? Tnx in advance Dragan Matic

2006, 2007Thanks a lot, I was trying with "windows xp shell replacement" and some similar combinations and I was getting some not really useful results. Well I'd better start with some "learn to use google" course, first. :sigh:

Well good question I used it once when I was changing the name of the 'start' button into another name, well you need to change the value of the 'shell' in the registry to the name of your program. Glad I can help!! (Tip: Next time use google:):cool:)
