Shindo_Hikaru Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Explorer is the program that allows you to interact with your computer and programs. Disableing it would be insane.If you wish to have a logon screen appear prior to Explorer, you must go to Start > Settings Control Panel > User Accounts.

SiMoNsAyS Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 let me remember that without explorer, there's no startbar nor desktop icons.for customization, litestep can replace explorer shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 look in registry at HKLM\software\microsoft\windows NT\currentversion\winlogonI seem to recall, it's been a long time, that you can changed the "Shell", "UIHost", and "Userinit" values to your own to not have explorer run and only have your own app run in their place.Do some research first, my brains a little rusty on this, but it should get you pointed in the right direction.

Doctor Trout Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 SysInternals "Autoruns" will let you disable a number of options that load at startup (you'll be surprised at what it finds). One option is to stop explorer.exe loading at startup.Link: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.htmlHope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
