Run Software as Exclusive Shell Application?


The key in the registry is called:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon -> Shell

which should be set to explorer.exe. BPM Studio probably changed this key.


This sounds very much like a custom shell.

All the MSDN documentation that I could find seems to concentrate on embedded versions of Windows where replacing the shell is clearly very common. However, I believe that the principles are much the same for desktop Windows.
