Title: how to make an application as win98 shell?
Post by: ahmer on November 19, 2005, 04:32:11 pm

Hello.

I just like to make my application to launch at the place of Explorer.exe after passing the logo.sys file in win98.
I have already done it in windowsXp but now i want to do in 98.
Do you guys have some updated information to hide the taskbar and speacially the mouse cursor without installing a software.

The file your looking for is system.ini in the windows folder

about 3rd line down....

shell=Explorer.exe

change explorer.exe to whatever program you want as the shell, and from memory you can use a full path eg "C:\whatever\program.exe if you need to
