Changing the user shell in XP Professional

[Mike]

How do you change the user shell to something other
than "Explorer" in XP Professional?

Thanks,

Mike

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.
