WinNT Shell

    In w95/98 you can edit the win.ini [possibly system.ini - bad memory & been so long since used thankfully], and change "shell=explorer.exe" to a different shell.

    Is this possible in NT, or which file you edit?
    I have searched through system.ini & win.ini and no line exists sadly - purpose for this is for Citrix, and getting winnt to boot straight to citrix client.

    Thanks in advance.

    local machine, software, microsoft, windows nt, current version, winlogon, key = shell

    How do stop the little darlings from being able to connect in to the desktop as opposed to just apps ?

    Would they not just use the ica client for connecting to apps then remove the Terminal server client so they can't access the desktop?

    Or am i missing something?
