I think there is something wrong with it.  All features work EXCEPT the actual shelling of the exe.  I know this because he uses dk as an example in his tutorial (so obviously he tested the app with it) and it won't shell dk.  I haven't tried anything else, because, quite frankly I don't use anything else. 

Can someone confirm for me?

When you set it to the DragonKing exe, does it make a registry string at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon called Shell with the value "[PATH]\DragonKing.exe"?

I have no clue... I would have to check later on...... but it wouldn't be "DragonKing.exe" it would be "The Dragon King.exe" which I think might be what is throwing it off.  I know that the registry key should support spaces, but the question is, does this app.

I'm betting it is the spaces too.  It's amazing how many things in XP still need to adhere to the 8.3 format.

The spaces shouldn't matter since the default is now "C:\Program Files\GameEx\GameEx.exe" which has a space in it.
